Thanks for your reply, Robert. I'll experiment with that.

A good recommendation. I was definitely leaning towards either this one, or MR/2
ICE. Multi-platform is always a plus, as far as I'm concerned. The essential
criteria
for me, though, include good conversion of existing NS Mail / Folders into the
replacement program's own format. Apparently both have such a utility or feature,
so it may come down to which does this best. Ideally, I would also like to be able
to manage multiple mail accounts, which may have different servers, without
having to "reboot" the program (e.g., quit NS and then come back in via a different
Profile). I've already been told that both mail programs work quite well with
JUNKSPY, so that shouldn't be a factor.

Sounds like a big improvement !
