That's nice, but when you are dealing with a dictionary, you need

different name.
so from what I understand:
Eudoraspeak Every other mail app
Personality Account
Mailbox Folders within an account
Folder Arbitrary disk structure for holding mail on the hard
disk that is accessible by
the mail program, but has nothing to do with the account
folders, especially in
an IMAP account.
You are obviously very new on the scene and very ignorant. A eudora
mailbox, just like the UNIX mailbox that in effect it is, is a FILE
and NOT a FOLDER.
A Eudora MAIL FOLDER _is_ a folder or directory visible as such in
the Finder and containing a number of mailbox, mbox or mbx files, a
common practice on all serious mail systems since the year dot. You
can also compare a sendmail drop file, which is essentially the same.
The "folders" that _your_ mail program presents to you are in fact
nothing of the kind. Your mail is contained in a vast and
inaccessible binary file which could easily get so corrupt one day
that you'd lose all your mail in one fell swoop. Try suggesting to
your ISP that he drop sendmail and switch to Outlook Express!
And your lines are too long.
