Let's get one thing straight here right away: the reason there's no Web
Developer Toolbar for Epiphany is not that the developers think there's
no demand for it (although web developers are not Epiphany's primary
audience). If someone ported the Firefox web developer extension, we
would be happy to include it. But with the limited manpower we have,
this simply doesn't have priority.

You can already put smart bookmarks on any toolbar you like!

Well, that might have been me. I concur with this opinion, in any
case. ;-)

You should really be looking at Evolution for that. Enable POP mail
retrieval for those accounts and create corresponding mail accounts in
Evolution. That will give you more e-mail flexibility than Epiphany will
ever be able to provide.

I'm looking into this, but don't hold your breath just yet.

Thanks! Spread the word. :-)
