Thunderbird works okay for me, where it's just a tree that shows the
state of multiple accounts at a given time. It also works well in that
the reply goes to the server of the account I'm currently viewing, so
"server1" mail goes out "server1"'s SMTP server and "Server2" goes out
"server2"'s server. Only problem is if I'm viewing one server's
contents and compose a message I meant for the other system. Whoopsie.
One thing I always kind of wished was simpler is a way to use SSH
tunneling automatically to connect to my remote systems. I have to do
it by hand right now (run SSH port redirection to a remote system that
will then forwards traffic on to the actual mail server). It encrypts
data from my workstation to a remote site so it's safe on an untrusted
network (especially when I'm roaming and using a wireless network), but
also lets me use local ports away from the standard ports and my local
client consistently thinks I'm connecting to a "localhost" port so I can
reconfigure some account settings without worrying about the IP of the
remote host. Am I making any sense?
I know, it's a really convoluted special-case thing that only I probably
use, but I was just sharing the information. Maybe someone would think
about better integration for privacy and encryption with this. I've
always wanted a mail client that wouldn't make encryption a chore in
email for both the sender and receiver.
