There was also this great guy called Bill Gates who put everything that
people wanted into a large, monolithic application. It is now unwieldy,
bloated, difficult to use and understand.
The whole reason I pointed out that there were other applications that
could poll multiple POP accounts into a single account is to stress that not
every package should implement every neat feature or combine everything into
one. *I* use TB! because it doesn't combine everything into one single
account. In fact it is one of only /two/ mailers that I know of (of over 30+
I've personally used in the past decade or so) which doesn't do that. I find
that to be a very powerful feature and would prefer not to have the bloat of
the "alternative" programmed in when there are several other decent mailers
available that do just that very think. I believe it is Alex who uses Pegasus
mail and could best explain how nice that package is despite my personal
distaste for it based on interface and underlying logic.
