Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:


Better yet, try to name 16 mail clients people _actually use_ which
DON'T, other than MUA-only programs like mailx and mutt with no SMTP
support at all. When I worked at a mediumish sized hosting company with
probably well over 100k mail users, I can't _ever_ recall hearing about
a complaint of a customer using a mail client that didn't support SMTP
auth.

Well, if someone knows a program for the Treo 6xx that does
SMTP-Auth w/APOP....I'm all ears... (& over SSL would be a big
plus...)

It's no longer sufficient to look merely at *nix, Mac and oh yea,
M$ platforms when counting beans..
