Default Email Icons

I use my phone for work all the time. I have three different email addresses that I use for work, and two different personal email accounts. The thing I like about my Yahoo! account is that the folder for all my emails is easily located on the home screen because there is a huge Yahoo! logo as part of the icon. As far as my BlackBerry email address and three work email addresses, however, I get the generic icons and in order to distinguish which is which I have to scroll over the icon and look at which address shows up over each icon. Now, is there an app I can download or something I can do to personalize each generic folder and give it its own unique look? This would just be a convenience for me because rather than having to scroll to each icon I can just glance down at my phone, check out which icon an email was sent to, and be able to tell instantly what email address I just got mail forwarded to. And yes, I know, this sounds extremely lazy. But I get upward of 15 emails an hour during work hours and it would just be nice to have different personalized email icons. And yes, I also am aware that I can add stars, colors, etc using the BlackBerry key and pressing "edit folder." But I'm looking for something more personal, like being able to add a cool graphic or something to really distinguish between email icons. Anyway, thanks for the help

Awesome, thanks! Now the only problem is I followed the instructions completely and only one of my remaining 4 email icons changed to the custom icon I set it to. I checked the UID under advanced options like the tutorial said to do, yet the three remaining icons haven't changed to the custom ones I set. Hmmm...it's really strange. I'm going to try again in the morning when I'm not half asleep Thanks again by the way, at least this helped me part of the way. Just a matter now of finding out how to get these other three icons to show up.
