Multiple Accounts
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2004 9:41 am
Hi,
I have been a registered user of Mail Sweep for a month or so and find it a useful program for dealing with spam so that it doesn't even get onto my hard disk!
As far as I can see the only must have improvement on the program is to enable it to work a bit better with multiple email accounts. As a registered user mail sweep does work with all my accounts, however it is a bit clunky and has to be used totally manually for all aditional accounts (as far as I can work out!)
When I "connect" it only does so for the one account in the "account" box. Then to use mail sweep for another account I have to click on disconnect then select the different account and then click on connect again. I call that clunky! (perhaps "clicky" would be more descriptive?) If I want mail sweep to use its AutoMail feature on all my accounts - well as far as I can find out from the help menu I can't do that, as AutoMail only works on the "default" account.
I think that it is a reasonable expectation for a program which works with multiple accounts and has an AutoMail feature to have either or BOTH of the following.
1. A button to connect with all the accounts I have set up in mail sweep IN ONE GO.
2. An improved AutoMail which works on all the accounts (possibly with different settings for each)
This would give me the ability to leave MailSweep loaded and "connectable" so that it will periodically tell me if I have received mail on any of my accounts. But if I think I should have received something I can opt not to wait for the AutoMail and check all the accounts at one go.
MailSweep would have several advantages in this respect over whatever other Mail Client one uses (I use Thunderbird)
a. Less of a memory hit even than Thunderbird, but MUCH less than Outlook/Express.
b. One's "you've got mail" sound takes you to your locked single front door. You can decide whether to let them in or not. You have a peep hole to see before you open.
Basic security, not provided with any Main Email Client, but MailSweep only provides this level of convenience and security for the Default Account! As it stands MailSweep gives me a seperate "Front Door" for each account and only allows me to have a door bell on the "Main Door"! For all the others I have to periodically go and check if there is someone waiting there! Absurd!
Please, please, please, this is not a foible but a substantial ommision from the program as it stands.
