[HLUG] Thunderbird address books

[Paul Stenning]

Hi all,

Any Thunderbird experts there?

A friend is using Thunderbird to manage email for several different 
accounts which are for different clients.  He is using the facility to 
collect email addresses of everyone he emails to the address book, and 
needs to keep these client lists separate.  However Thunderbird does not 
seem to have any options for setting which address book contacts are 
added to on a per-account basis.  You can only set it up in Options and 
choose an address book that they all go into.

We will probably have to set up different profiles for each client but 
that is a bit of a pain as he will have to keep closing and reopening 
Thunderbird to switch between profiles.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the collected addresses 
sorted automatically depending on which email account they come in 
through?  Manual dragging/dropping to the right place is not an option.

Failing that is there another good free (open source) email client for 
Windows (Vista) that will work how he wants and will support IMAP and 
POP3 email?

Ohh, and before someone suggests it (as seems to happen whenever email 
is discussed), Google Mail is NOT AN OPTION.

Thanks!
Paul


PS - it is looking like I may not be able to attend the meeting tonight 
now as some urgent work issues have cropped up :(
