So far, my experience with Alpine has been good. I've sucessfully set up
IMAP accounts, and I seem to have access to all my folders.
Sending/Receiving works well. I like the interface and functionality
better than thunderbird (err, Iceowl) already.

I still have something I need to fiqure out though -- how to properly
handle multiple IMAP accounts. I now how to create the collections just
fine, but I don't know how to handle custom sig files, headers, et cetera
for each account. I think it has something to do with setting up roles.
If there is anything similiar in Pine, let me know how that works for you.

This e-mail was sent with Alpine, so feel free to look over the headers
and let me know if I screwed anything up.
