Just out of curiosity, took a count here...
ONE user - Ich:
Same client (SeaMonkey) standard on all platforms.
Browser-agnostic 'Prayer' Webmail.
Most POP accounts phased out begining approx ten years ago. IMAP-only
for at lest five years now.
Currently:
9 current IMAP accounts in 6 domains, on four servers. Similar number
retired, folders archved.
73 current server-resident folders nested from one to four levels deep
50 current 'Local' folders, up to four levels deep
Messages copied or moved between and among folders, marked read, or
tagged important and the like by approx 40 MUA rules.
Space:
Typically 3 GB server-resident (back to 2005), 6 GB locally resident
(older yet).
Replicated across 4 desktops, 2 laptops, in 3 residences on two
continents - plus travel...
