I *think* that what he means is, that if he has umpty different
mailservers or has umpty different POP or IMAP accounts on the same
server, that Mozilla gives him the chance of making umpty different
inboxes, all with different names.

Personally, I *do* have umpty different mail accounts on billy.demon.nl,
but what I do, is make filters that say that if mail comes in for tonni
then it goes in that inbox (which I've made myself), if mail comes in
for billy or for evy, then it goes in the other inbox which I've made
for billy, etc. Actually, mail for evy is routed to online.no by my LDAP
and mail servers.

It's just that some people want their Robinson's Groats/porridge put
into their mouths with a teaspoon all their lives, like their ma used to
do it. They're usually called "Windows People."

Best,

T'en
