That's all, and they aren't the only way. An *overreliance* on plugins as the Deus Ex Machina for "any feature I don't like" is silly, bordering on stupid. The slick "that will be a plugin" reply to EVERYTHING that isn't a programmer feature, or is an actual IMAP feature is not a good thing. As far as the programmer only thing goes, well, one can only go by what one sees, and thus far, this is not a non-programmer ffriendly app -- John C.
