Setting Up outlook 2007 with 3 accounts

[Frank]

How do I set up outlook 2007 (using Vista) with 3 email accounts. I want
outlook to prompt me "Which account to use" when I open outlook. I'm not
able to see the "Mail" function in Vista for setting up the email profiles.

You need to enable Classic View in Control Panel
You are aware that you have to close Outlook in order to open in another
Profile?
Generally peoples create all accounts in the one Profile, then use rules to
move msgs from eg Inbox to an appropriate folder, you can select which
account to use in creating a mail

Even when Classic is enabled, I do not see the "Mail" feature in Vista

Maybe
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows;
go to Control Panel-> Additional Options-> View 32-bit Control Panel Items->
Mail-> button Show Profiles

There is no need to set up rules to separate messages from different
accounts in Outlook 2007. You can assign a delivery location per account.

How do I set up outlook 2007 (using Vista) with 3 email accounts. I want
outlook to prompt me "Which account to use" when I open outlook.

Then you'll need to put each account in its own mail profile and configure
prompting for which profile to use when starting Outlook because Outlook
cannot prompt for mail accounts, only profiles. Others are addressing your
second issue.

I see that, but in my case I still find it simpler to create the numerous
extra folders I require and manually move Inbox mail to a designated folder
once I have dealt with it. I use vba to file sent mail to a folder selected.
