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.
How does it know that??? Since there are 10 accounts and 4 pop servers, it is obvious that several of the accounts must share a pop server... if so, then when you pick up email from THAT pop server, how does OE guess which 'account' messages are supposed to get?
What very-complicated setup do you have that you think this is totally useless for?
Well, I have a particular POP mailbox and email addresses to something like 25 different email addresses end up in that POP mailbox. I have several domains I oversee, for example, and so I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] going into the box. I also have several 'organization' email addresses [e.g., I had an "acm.org" one and several 'alumni' addresses] which go into the box. And a whole lot more. When I pick up email from that pop box, there's no way I can see to sort out which intended-account can be associated with the messages...
I see your dilemma, now. You're using a single account on the POP server to dump all the mail from a number of e-mail addresses, while I have setup separate accounts on the POP servers for each e-mail address and have each download separately.
