    Ok, so I like the interface with yahoo mail... and have used it as my first email account and never changed after all these years.

    I'd like to use email from some of my sites, it looks much more professional but I dislike the interface from Horde, Squirrelmail, etc.

    I also never learned Outlook express but then again I don't want to be locked to a single cpu as I have a couple offices. What do you folks do, and what would you recommend for me to manage my mail?

    I use Gmail for all of my personal stuff. It's pretty good. :)

    How about creating forwarders from each of your accounts to a newly created gMail account. Then, in gmail, you can create filters (kind of like folders) for each mail from a different server/location. It's what I do.

    Not sure if you have a gmail account, but in case you don't, all mail stays in your Inbox, but you can also access it from it's filter/folder, so it's always sorted.

    You can set gmail up to use a different "From" address, but I'm not sure if you can do that for every e-mail yet. Sorry, I never thought about the replying. Hopefully people are requesting the From field be visible above the "To" field when composing mails. This might make life easier...
