How to view only the mail box and not the shared ones

emailmail.appsearch

I started a new job and the mail client has a lot of shared inboxes. How do I see the messages directed only at me? In other words, I'd like to filter out my own personal mail box.

I'm using Mac OSx 10.8.5 and the default mail app. If there's no way to select a specific mail box how can I filter out messages with my e-mail address in the to/cc/bcc field?

In the left column there's a MAILBOXES heading but only "Inbox" is beneath with no further selections.

In this screenshot I have Chats selected, which is empty, but if I go to Inbox there's a ton of stuff, not all of which is mine.

I am not sure to understand your question, but here is what I think it is.

You can create a New Smart MailBox (under the Mailbox Tab) that will automatically filter all your personal emails (addressed to you) and store them in to that mail box.
