Re: [LI] Multiple pop accounts.

Hi

  Try KMail. It allows you to configure different POP servers. It takes
the server name/address, login name and password. So if you have different
name on different account, no problems. 
 But it allows only one SMTP server, so all your outgoing mails will be
thr. that account only. You can not use different SMTP servers for
outgoing mails. 
 It is very good looking but yo may find it annoyinigly slow.

 You can solve your problem using Netscape, if you are able to create
profiles in it. But I did not find that option in Netscape under linux.
