So how to sort and filter incoming emails in Live account?

If you want to group the emails from different accounts to different folders, this will do the trick. First create a new folder under the name of your choice where you would like to collect emails from the other account. Go to Options -> More Options -> Customize you mail -> Automatically sort emails into different folders.

Click New Filter. Under Step 1, select To or CC lines and Contains. In the Enter text column, enter the email address from where the emails are forwarded. Select the folder that you have just created. Click Save.

You can continue these steps for all the accounts from where you are forwarding your emails. Now when you are logged in to account A and a mail is addressed to account B, the mails will be automatically sorted and filtered to the new folder that you have assigned rather than the Inbox.
