Hi Bill,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think this is complete enough for
my needs.
The reality is that all mail to @zygoat.ca and @doggiebox.com currently
come into one POP3 box. I would rather be able to treat these in an
aggregate fashion, without having to define myriad new accounts in PM
([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.) and hope that I haven't missed any.
Furthermore I'd like to keep my user interface simple and having dozens
of duplicate accounts listed in the chooser pop-up will eliminate its
usefulness for actually choosing an outgoing account when I want one.
Anyway, I realise my original request wouldn't be sufficient unless it
would accommodate wildcards ("this account accepts all mail to
[domain]"). Oh well.
