When MUAs support IMAP and POP they should go the extra inch and support SMTP smarthosts. Mozilla, Evolution, etc, only require about 30 seconds of setup. And it's so simple anyone could pull it off. All you need is a list of: email-address pop or imap server outgoing mail server (SMTP smarthost) username password That's all that is needed, and you can set up as many accounts as you want and they don't get all entangled. This versus the long and painful road of trying to set up your own personnal mail server/processing center just to send email. Don't get me wrong, I'm using mutt right now. But that's in spite of the fact that it doesn't speak SMTP, not because of it. If the problem is that mail clients don't implement all of SMTP properly (either because some features are useless in a client or because it is impossible) then we need a new standard, something like SSMTP (Simple SMTP :) or something like that and a couple of new RFCs to define how it should work.
