Actually, I'm using Communicator now, but it doesn't seem to handle
multiple email addresses, and resetting the preferences is just not
practical on an hourly basis (thats why I end up using Becky! on Win95).
Which programs can handle multiple email addresses? When I say "handle",
I guess I would just want a separate folder for incoming mail for each
address, at a minimum. Do jpin and fetchmail handle multiple addresses
reasonably well?
