Redemption.. I Was Wrong!

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

In my earlier entry concerning my switch to Apple Mail, I stated that Apple Mail had sub-par IMAP support. When I wrote this, I was under the impression that it was not possible to have separate Sent/Drafts/Junk/Trash folders (mailboxes as Apple Mail calls them) for your different IMAP accounts.
