OK, this is strange voodoo and has me confused.  I have no idea why you
are having a problem.  I confess that I usually use my server SMTP
rather than ISP SMTP, and that means that my mail tends to work wherever
I am.  I'm not really an expert in debugging these things (hangs head in
shame).

I was actually referring to situations when you contact the guys running
a project and ask for a fix to a problem...and get the reply "fix it?
FIX IT?  We're BUSY!  YOU FIX IT!"

I think every Free Software project should try to deal with issues.  If
you say "I want the Mobility Email client to access Webmail in an easier
way" I think I should say "we are/will/have already looked into the
matter."  Ultimately I might say "it can't be done that way
because....you twonk," but first I should look :)

True.  But then again we can't please everyone.  There are limits to
what five guys with no money can build.

I need to talk to you about that.  I think I need to source an ICT
supplier for bits and bobs.

No problem.  Contact me anytime and I'll try to chase answers for you.
I cannot promise that it'll get answer right away, but I can tell you
that I *always* follow through on these matters.

Erm, yes.  You need to set filters against every account.  I
occasionally find it a pain too.  It is also possible to set a filter to
run on 'Local Folders' but I don't have a great deal of experience with
that voodoo either.
