Dear Sir,
Thank you for your response! I am in the
process of installing leafnode and
stunnel (for SSL), but downloading,
whether in the foreground or background
via leafnode involves wastage of
bandwidth.

On the other hand, Claws-mail, under
your control, has the potential to be
altered to be multi-threaded. Perhaps
it will take no more than a few extra
lines of code.

I have posted on two other topics.
Please combine them for assessment:

(1) 	About Kill Filter and
pre-processing

(2)	Message folders become
unresponsive while Claws-mail is
downloading

I really like claws-mail and have been
anticipating an email client with
pre-filters. It fits that slot
beautifully.
