OK, good point, most of the time I use the german spellchecker, and I
think (its mor a feeling) that the Calypso-Spellchecker is a little better.
Sequential Downloads do not bother me, because I fetch my mail with a local
installatin of Mercury.

Lucky guy, My account-tree is really long, (15 accounts, only 4 for
testing-purposes, the rest really in use).

Glitzy guy is compared to Eudora not really true. Also TheBat! has a better
looking guy than Calypso (But TheBats! Guy is very bad organised and I
often have to seek a while for certain functions, hope this will be better
with Verion 2)
