I syncronize multiple accounts into subdirs below ~/Maildir and track them as a whole using a single notmuch database.

What I do now is spawn multiple instances of interimap, all spewing to stderr - and it would then be helpful to have output not only tell my username (which is identical across several mail domains) but also mention my shortname used for each maildomain. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
