Much to my delight, gmail is offering IMAP these days. Labels are virtual folders. You can have it retrieve mail from your other accounts and take advantage of the IMAP access and excellent spam filtering. I first tried using kmail for this as I use kmail for personal mail and evo for business mail on an exchange server. Kmail has some sort of flaw that it will read the virtual folders and every other folder but not the inbox itself. So, I tried using evo. Mail retrieval and reading are working well on evo, but I have another problem that kmail was good at*. Kmail uses identities as well as accounts. When I pipe my other account through gmail, I want replies to be sent from the identity that received the mail. For instance mail for art<at>gmail.com should be replied as coming from art<at>gmail.com, while mail for arthur<at>alexion.com should get a response from arthur<at>alexion.com. Identities handle this well in kmail, but I see no way to configure it in evo. I don't have an arthur<at>alexion.com account configured in evo as this mail is retrieved through the gmail account. Is there any way to accomplish what I want? *This is the curse of MUA clients.
