Yup, I know it. In Pegasus, OTOH, you can set up multiple
users, attach all the users mailboxes to the mailbox of the first
user, and voila, you end up with exactly the default situation of
TB:-)

No problem at all. Either use multiuser mode, or set up as many
identities you want. Each of them can have different ISP
settings (including dial-up settings, too). Then Pegasus lets you
"attach" any identity to *any* folder. Then when you have such
a folder with an identity attached opened, you'll have the
corresponding identity automatically activated. For example, I
have this account (UUCP one), and one another, dial-up POP3
to our department. I filter the part of the department traffic to
the folder "Department MPH", to which the identity "MPH
dialup" is attached. When I reply to a message from that folder,
my reply will be sent via MPH dialup, not via my UUCP gateway.
But AFAIK those Pegasus users who (like you) like to have the
different sources traffic separated prefer multiuser mode.

I'm not:-) It's quite simple to remember after you've used it for a
while.

In Pegasus, there exists such thing as "annotations". You can
attach annotation to every message. Messages with annotations
are marked with a special icon in the folder listing.
