Sub-mailbox folder hierarchy to represent a separate physical mailbox to a user

A computer-implemented message system, comprising:

• a storage component providing a central location for storing representations of different message accounts and respective email of a user;
• an account component of the storage component for structuring the representations of the different message accounts as alternate subaccounts to a main account implemented as a folder hierarchy contained within a physical mailbox of the user;
• a mirror component for mirroring content from the different message accounts to the main account and alternate subaccounts;
• an abstraction component for providing access to email of the main account and alternate subaccounts, wherein a mailbox-enabled user object to access email of the main account is utilized to access email of the alternate subaccounts via an association of attributes representing the alternate subaccounts;
• and
• a processor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the storage component, account component, mirror component, or abstraction component.

A computer-implemented messaging method, comprising acts of:

• storing representations of different message accounts and respective email of a user;
• structuring the representations of the different message accounts as alternate subaccounts to a main account by implementing a folder hierarchy contained within a physical mailbox of the user;
• providing access to email of the main account and alternate subaccounts;
• utilizing a mailbox-enabled user object to access email of the main account and to access email of alternate subaccounts via an association of attributes representing the alternate subaccounts;
• and
• utilizing a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to perform at least one of the acts of storing, structuring, utilizing, or providing.
