Mail Setups

Hello,

My main email account is a Yahoo one for historical
reasons (had it way before google offered gmail,
everybody that counts knows the address etc). I also
have a gmail account that redirects to my main yahoo
account.

In my server and for the "pro" email accounts I use
Postfix+dovecot+spamassassin and I also have
SquirrelMail for some domains (for some reason I liked
it better than say, Horde).

In emergencies I've used web2mail.com to access email
and I can also ssh'd in with a ssh web client too if
at one point I have no ssh client or the port is
blocked. I also have mutt and the command line in the
server just in case!

I use port redirect with iptables to avoid the ISP
blocking tcp 25 problem.

In the client side I use Firefox (duh!) for the
web-based accounts and for the other "inportant" ones
Thunderbird on Mac, Linux and Windows. Some are POP,
some are IMAP. My biggest complaint with thunderbird
is its search utility; it's not very good and in the
results window you have to click on the results and
open new windows to see the message bodies instead of
having a panel below like the main window.

I also use an email just for mailing lists and
second-tier type of email (this one) and a hotmail
account for one-off signing up for stuff and
non-important things and getting spam.
