I don't know about Evolution - I tried it and didn't like it. But kmail (for me) handles multiple identities and accounts with separate in/out folders, complete with decent filtering rules, with ease and flair. For example, I'm writing this as my identity "lists" - separate from my personal and professional accounts so that email lists don't overload my private email stock. I've been using kmail (and been happy with it) for some 5+ years. The only thing to consider with Kmail as far as separating your identities is that you specify what folder(s) will be used for incoming/outgoing mail, giving maximum flexibility. But, even then, if a message is in the wrong folder, it's a simple drag/drop to set it right. -Ben On Tuesday 27 December 2005 11:42, Robert Moskowitz wrote: > For each of my 'identities' (day job, home business, teaching job, > etc) to have the mail totally separated.
