incoming/outgoing account distinction
Authored by: sjk on Dec 19, '05 08:49:09PM

Re: THe issue is separating the outbound and inbound function.

I wish more mail apps supported distinct outgoing (SMTP) and incoming (IMAP, POP) accounts. In Mulberry, any mail address you use is associated with an identity and each identity uses a SMTP account, normally an inherited default.

Incoming IMAP or POP accounts really aren't necessary if all you want is outgoing (SMTP) functionality, but unfortunately most mail apps don't separate them like Mulberry so you end creating "dummy" accounts as a sloppy workaround for those oversimplistic implementations.
