No, I have five email accounts. If I'm composing a message, then of course
there's a particular account associated with the message/window. But what
account am I "in" when I'm looking at a list of messages, coming from
various accounts, in my Inbox in the "Mail" window? (I consider myself as
being "in" a particular *folder* when I'm dealing with messages in the main
window, not any particular account.)
I'm also well aware that email *can* exist on the net. None of mine does,
after Entourage downloads it. So from that perspective, having "on my
computer" in window titles makes about as much sense as having my phone
number there. Not that it's going to bother me that much...
