    Now you're beginning to understand.  Now, let me show you what it takes
for me to do the same with an application that does multiple accounts.

    NEW ACCOUNT
    Set up incoming
    Set up outgoing

    The specifics are irrelevent, GUI or Test (I'd prefer text, personally)
you set up three things and you're done because the rest is assumed until
expressly said otherwise.

    How would you filter the different account's mailing lists after
filtering them into individual folders? 

    From what I can gather you need to set up filters for each mailing list,
which I have to do, granted.  Then you need to go into the MUA and set up the
account information there for that folder.  I don't need to do that, it is
assumed unless otherwise specified.

    It is the little things like that which prevent me from moving over.  I'm
not saying it doesn't work for you, or others.  I'm saying it just doesn't
work well enough for me and others I have seen ask for it...  repeatedly.
