 One of the nice things about keeping your mail on the server and going

database (which keeps your contact data organized for any mail client on
your computer ...as long as it's Mail.app...).
Ah, that's why you have client filters working on IMAP mailboxes. (Though it does have some bandwidth issues when working any distance off a good-speed network link) Dunno if Mail.app does it, but Eudora's certainly happy to, which is nice. A pain, as it slows things down, but at least it means you note what mailboxes have new mail in them. One thing Eudora *doesn't* do is check boxes on the server and open windows when there's new mail even if it didn't put it there, but nothing's perfect. :)
