SA Tag - Spam from compromised web mails

[Jeff Koch <je...@intersessions.com>]

Why be forced into using one mail client? Hey, it's almost 2010 - people 
use multiple devices to check email - smartphones, PDA's, mail to voice, 
webmail, internet cafes. The days of using only one client are long past. 
You can still use IMAP on a main PC to keep your email sorted - but why not 
also make it easy to follow discussions on other devices?

Or when using Exchange, just make the rules server side ... then they are
also applied to all mail ... whether how many diff clients you are using ...
