Wayne Mery recommended I post here. It's my first post, and I appologize for not lurking for a decent amount of time before posting but due to the imminent release of Supernova, I'm posting in haste. What follows is my ideal email client. It is not a tweak. It is an entirely new architecture -- well, actually, it's somewhat like the original Eudora, but would be totally new to TBird. Suppose I send a 1st message to a new friend: Larry (larryfine@stooges.com). IdealEmailClient would automatically create a larryfine@stooges.com mailbox and put the message there. Later, IdealEmailClient puts Larry's response in the larryfine@stooges.com mailbox. Yes, in the same mailbox, so they thread together 'message'-'reply'-'message'-'reply'... Suppose Larry's buddy, Curly (curlyhoward@stooges.com), sends me a 1st message. IdealEmailClient would automatically create a curlyhoward@stooges.com mailbox and put the message there. When I respond, IdealEmailClient puts my response in the curlyhoward@stooges.com mailbox. No accounts. No identities. Simple. In addition, the mailboxes would each have their own "Reply-To:" header (needed because my SMTP is outgoing only). And, IdealEmailClient would let me change SMTP for the rare occasion that I need a differring SMTP. Bonus Feature: If I could link Larry's and Curly's mailboxes (or just put them in proximity), that would be welcome. Regards, Mark Filipak. PS: I know that accounts (SMTP & POP) are needed. But please, don't build architecture around them. Just use them as pipes and build the GUI around mailboxes. Thanks -- M.
