I've used Eudora for years, and because the version on my new machine
is very unstable, have switched to Calypso. I've not yet explored all
its features, but like it *much* better than Eudora already.

Calypso is explicitly designed to allow this, and it looks very easy to
do. (I don't have a need for it yet.) You can even add some security by
password-protecting the different mailboxes.

Calypso is now freeware, so this isn't an issue with it. I have alas
forgotten the URL from which I downloaded Calypso, but do remember the
Google search terms I used: "free email program". yeah, I know that's
very general, but the site turned up on either the first or second
page. I think the addy was webattack.com something-something.

I grok. :-)
