What if I have unlimited accounts within the same IMAP account (such as is
available at Tuffmail)? Can I define multiple FROM fields so that my FROM
address shows the appropriate from address. I.e., does OE offer the ability
to have unlimited FROM fields (predefined or configurable at compose time)
within the same IMAP account? OL does offer such a feature.

OK.

That is what I would expect. Great.

Great. Just wanted to make sure OE had an unmark delete feature before
purge/compact. Many clients do not.

Right, unless, of course, one uses local IMAP stores which negates the
value of IMAP in the first place.

Thank you for you response.
