Hello Miguel,

On Thu, 13 Nov 2003 10:07:39 +0100 your time, you said:

M> I  regularly  manage  3  accounts during working hours (I have some
M> more  though).  Which  do  you  think would be the benefit to me of

I  don't  know.  Only you will know if such a setup could be of use to
you ;-)

Here's  a  situation  where  single  accounts  with multiple transport
settings could prove to be useful:

You  have  6  pop  boxes.  3  are  related, 2 are related and 1 isn't.
Instead of setting up 6 separate accounts in the account tree it would
be convenient to be able to group pops by account.

E.g.

+--account 1  (pop 1; pop 2; pop 3)
 |
 +--Inbox

+--account 2  (pop 4; pop 5)
 |
 +--Inbox

+--account 3  (pop 6)
 |
 +--Inbox


The way it is now you have to have it like this:

+--account 1  (pop 1)
 |
 +--Inbox

+--account 2  (pop 2)
 |
 +--Inbox

+--account 3  (pop 3)
 |
 +--Inbox

+--account 4  (pop 4)
 |
 +--Inbox

+--account 5  (pop 6)
 |
 +--Inbox

+--account 6  (pop 6)
 |
 +--Inbox

You  can  of course filter into a common inbox but then you still have
multiple  accounts. A way around this is to pop to a local mail server
like  Mercury/32 and filtering all incoming messages in TB! (as I do).
Still not as convenient as multiple pop settings though, IMO. But what
is good for me obviously isn't going to be good for everyone :-)
