In OE it's not the POP mailbox that it uses that's significant, but the
account that requested the download. When replying it defaults to using that
account's SMTP setup to send the reply.
Ah, I see now. That is totally useless for my situation but is probably adequate for folks with very-simple email setups. Unless you have exactly one email address associated with each POP mailbox, the POP=>account mapping is just not useful.
I've never used Pegasus, so I'm not sure how it is setup. But you asked
And I explained how OE does it. I wasn't trying to sell you on using it for your situation.As I've asked [a couple of times now], *HOW* do those fancy-email-clients actually manage to guess the right "identity" to use for a message when the only info at hand is which POP mailbox it happened to be picked up from?
I never said it was a one-to-one relationship of POP to account. In OE you define the POP and SMTP for each e-mail account. I have 10 different e-mail accounts defined for 4 different POP servers and the HTTP hotmail server. When you reply to a given message it knows which e-mail account it was sent to not just which POP server was used to download it and will use that account for the reply. You can easily change it to send from a different account by clicking on the list of accounts and selecting another.
What very-complicated setup do you have that you think this is totally useless for? And what do you want to happen when you reply to an e-mail? I prefer for the same account to be used that it was sent to.
