Gah, sorry for the tone. This might not be what the original author intended so.... don't associate me with him. However, this is what I see as a failing. Complete mail account separation. Different incoming and outgoing servers, different preferences, different folders, different filters, all down the line. The only common theme should be, IMHO, the interface. The basic question is, of course, why should one have access to different accounts in a single application? In fact, it has been asked and answered flippantly. Let me give a better answer. On my local machine I have, say, the account grey. At work I have slamb3. On my friend's machine I have morpheus. The latter two do not have mappings into the local machine nor should they. They also should not be forced into the local machine's account since they are separate accounts. I may or may not have access to shells on those machines but I /do/ have acccess to POP and SMTP. It seems logical, to me, that a client (not MUA, I now, after a few years, regard the two as different entities) should be able to keep those account separate internally when needed. - -- Steve C.
