The address book, yes. What about the settings? The configured mailboxes, the message filter rules, etc ... It would be best to point the mua to a single remote config (alpine can store it on an imap server eg) and I wouldn't bother configuring on each machine I read mail on. > >> - handles multiple inboxes (I use imaps mainly) >> - possibility to set the fcc folder for a given address book entry > > What's fcc? File carbon copy. The name of the folder where the emails go. I find it useful _not_ having a single inbox and sent folder, rather group mails by person / organization. With alpine, if the address book is set up properly, all composed messages go to the right place and messages saved from the inbox (two keystrokes, compared to Thunderbird's right-click and dropdown navigation), too. > >> - possibility to save the message from the inbox to the desired fcc >> with as few keystrokes as possible >> - minimal intelligence when I reply to a mail in my 'sent' folder: >> don't address it to myself rather to the one I sent the mail > > I just tested this with Tbird/Iceweasel on an email From "me", and To > "someone else". Tbird correctly sends the mail to "someone else".

I'm a bit disappointed to hear that. TB is rather far from what I expect... Any suggestions on spam filtering? Cheers, P -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
