I have multiple domains and multiple email accounts, sometimes more than one 
per domain. This is so I can keep stuff from different sites separate, and 
separate personal and business.

I think the concept of identities is brilliant. When you understand how to use 
them properly, you may agree :-)

For example, some people may use the same email address for work and business.
But when replying to business emails, they need formal add-ons like 
disclaimers, titles, contact, etc, which are not necessary when replying to 
their wife. So you have two identities, with different settings, then filter 
mail from wife to particular folder, and set kmail to use private identity on 
that folder ...

But I also think the whole "set up accounts" dialogues need a rethink. I've 
been using kmail for years and still have to fiddle around in different places 
to get things to work properly when adding a new account. 


Cheers, Ian
