When logged on to multiple accounts...

I'm relatively new to Adium, and I have a question about how multiple accounts can be organized.

What I mean is: when logged in to two or more accounts at once, of the same messenger (say two MSN accounts), is it possible to separate the contact list according to these two accounts, or do they always get mashed together?

fairly sure they get mashed together, but you could have them in custom groups if you wanted, but they would still be in one vertical list

It's been requested before #769 and got shot down, but I think it would be nice to have the ability to tick a box somewhere that says "Group by Accounts" and be able to break up the contacts list so that you can easily see which account a contact is connected with. Especially for those of us that might have one account we use for personal stuff and one for work stuff, or one for RL friends and one for Net friends or whatever.

I have two accounts I use for work, three I use for personal. I put the contacts for each account into their own groups. That pretty much solves the problem. Easy to see who's who.
