I think he wants to access the mail on IMAP as opposed to download mail from IMAP servers... fetchmail is not useful for that. > > - Must be able to easily change which account I'm sending email from, > > ideally selectable from the individual message composition screen. > > KMail all the way.

But the transfer is > invisible to me. Kmail claims to support IMAP but when I set up IMAP server (with SSL) it never connects, I just tried it yesterday (after reading mails in this thread). Not sure what's the problem, it's my local IMAP server, I use it with mutt and netscape (no problems). The other suggested client was solpheed - that one doesn't seem to support SSL (and wasn't able to connect to my local IMAP server as well). erik
