I keep meaning to set up POP3 for my gmail accounts, but worry about
mixing up my public spamtrap (this address) with my real, private,
address. So, I haven't done that, yet. In the past, I did have pine
configured for POP3 with gmail, and still have that settings file. Again,
it's the switching roles/addresses which hinders my adoption of that
feature--the potential for human error, on my end, seems large.
Well, IMO there's nothing to say to this, as everyone knows better than
others what better fits one's needs. Also, if you can make all you spam to be
managed on a distant server (gmail or other), it's better (than retrieving it
and filtering locally).
In terms of Pan, I like the tabbed browsing feature, wheras
sylpheed-claws
seemed (?) to only offer panes.
Yes you're right, it's not a feature implemented for now.
