I realize this - I am simply taking the liberty of asking why. You are
free to answer that you don't want to tell me - but please don't
pretend that a "because!" is an answer to a "why?"

I'm *really* looking forward to your opinion on the webmail-based
solutions suggested to you by myself and others. I do realize that you
do not want yet another account and that you do not like webmail. But
all that we - the reprensentatives of this stragegy - has really been
suggesting, is that you use the option some webmail providers give you
for sending from the TB no matter where you are connected - which
would amount to the same thing as having all your mailboxes at one
provider.

I regret making such a categorical statement. What I meant was: Do you
really think it is necessary? I guess, I now the answer by now. I just
don't agree. If you need several identities, the individual folders in
an account can give you that. This won't give you a nice drop-down
menu of identities in the "TO"-field when composing - but it will save
you the trouble of setting up filters, columns and templates for
several mailboxes. If you *like* doing these things, you are most
welcome! But if what we are discussing, is how to run TB in the
smoothest way on conditions of having to change connections and
wanting to have several identities, I find it hard to see that the
"how-to-make-TB-switch-accounts-with-ingeniuos-surgery-on-it's-finer-parts"-road
is the easiest way to travel.
Best regards,
Jannik
