Well, I am having many irritations settling on an email program.

I use mail.app for three miscellaneous email accounts, registrations
and business stuff.
I wanted to have my main personal account in a separate program.
Eudora6 is strange tho. It doesn't support the system address book
and calling up names from history puts '-' instead of '@' in the
address. Hm, it seems to translate itself into '@' when sending.
Irritating.

I tried powermail but it has no spam filtering, which mail and Eudora
have. It seems to be necessary all of a sudden. I get a dozen junk
mails a day now. Used to get none on my personal account.

I prefer the mail.app interface so I put my personal account on there
along with my business accounts but it refuses to send thru an
smtp password authentication scheme.

On os/2 and windoze I used PMMail, which had actual separate mailboxes
in the interface. I prefer that but it seems not to exist in macos
mail programs. Spam has probably rendered that program useless now tho.

So, I am not happy with the choices available for email in macos.

I guess I'm just complaining, really. Eudora is the only program which
will send thru the login smtp I have to use (I am at a cyber cafe
in haiti) so I'm stuck with it.

Why can't I get mail.app to send thru my mail{dot}lyalls{dot}net? bizarre.
