1/24    Can someone recommend a good mail client for Windows that nicely
        handles multiple mailboxes, each with its own outbound server (I
        need IMAP + TLS) hopefully besides Outcrook?  Tried Opera, Mozilla,
        Firebird, Pegasus, none of them particularly seem to like multiple
        SMTP servers.  -John
        \_ I use both Mozilla and Thunderbird w/multiple SMTP servers.  They can
           be a little difficult to configure, because the dialog for changing
           server settings doesn't seem to remember more than one change at a
           time, but once I got it all configured I didn't have any problems.
           -emarkp  [formatd, damnit]
                     \_ What was wrong with my formatting?  I have tabs set to
                        8, and I wrap at 80 lines to minimize # of lines in a
                        post. -emarkp
                        \_ you're going past 80. you do all the time.
                           \_ Whatever.  I'll keep an eye on it, but it seems
                              to be working fine for me and my settings haven't
                              changed.  I'll set my wrap at 79 in case your
                              settings are messed up. -emarkp
                              \_ My settings?  It's only your posts.  I've
                                 counted my chars/line with both wc and my
                                 fingers.  No one else goes over as often

           \_ OK thanks that's what I thought should happen.  I's remembering
              them ok, but can't seem to figure out which one to use with
              my two test accounts.  Meantime, postfix/cyrus-saslauthd on
              FreeBSD is giving me grief, so I'll have to fix that first.

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

Weve designed it especially to help you deal with your growing volume of email as quickly and efficiently as possible, saving much of your precious time. Use all its powerful features at home or at the office to handle your email naturally - the way you want and how you want, simply and directly . The use of plug-ins saves you from the imperative of utilizing permanently running anti-virus monitors that may significantly degrade performance of the computer. Scheduler, you can easily schedule automatic actions like mail retrieval or sending, creation of messages with specific templates and running programs or batch files. It is also possible to use it for simple reminders about events or messages you want to deal with. Smart Sorting Office The Sorting Office provides efficient way to process messages automatically - you can filter not only incoming messages, but also the messages you have sent, read or replied. With the Sorting Office, you can move messages into various folders, send automatic replies built with a custom template; Any mailbox, folder or entry in the Address Book can have a set of templates for the new message, reply or forward. These templates will greatly expedite the process of message composition, especially when the message contains some standard or common text or it should contain some personal information and/or default message settings related to the addressee. Quick Templates In the message editor, Quick Templates will save you hours of typing. Insert text blocks - even from files on disk - add custom message information, attach files and vCards, and more - all with a couple of keystrokes and without using menu commands. When a message is parked, you will not be able to move it to another folder, nor will it be deleted or automatically purged. Built-In Backup and Restore You can make backups of all the configuration settings, address books and folders, and restore such information from the backup file in case of accidental data loss. You can also add a comment to the backup file, select which accounts to backup and even password protect the archive file. This is very useful for managing your mail remotely, for example leaving that copy of the huge document on the server until you get home but retrieving and reading the urgent memos while still on the mobile connection. Fast Address Book The Address Book provides you with an easy way to maintain the list of contacts you have. It is possible to create groups dedicated to a particular classification or for use as a mailing list. Every entry in the Address Book can have a personal and business address, its own Template, default Codepage, and even photograph and S/MIME-certificate attached to it. Submission Forms Submission forms is a tool for creating queries that are automatically processed by servers - are a great solution for a business client-server environment. Strong Cryptography The internal PGP implementation, based on the award-winning OpenSSL lets you encrypt messages and sign them with digital signatures.
