Will OL2003 offer these features I can't get in OL2K? Currently am
still using OL2K SP3 (last i checked the XP version still didn't add
the important features I've been needing for years so never have
bothered to upgrade further)

1) Ability to manage multiple email accounts/ISPs and respond to each
email from it's account rather than a single default email account for
outgoing responses. Currently (OL2K) I can RECEIVE email on multiple
accounts but unless I MANUALLY remember to send using a specific
account it automatically sends using the default account - invariably
I forget something that should be automated in the 1st place).

Also an ability to have an email account specific signature for
new/outgoing email w/ each account in conjunction w/ the above...

2) Ability to display in preview pane 'From' field or column the
actual 'reply-to' or 'from' email address without automatically
resolving the 'name'. E.g. I've always wanted an email client that
would display in the preview panes (w/o clicking several times into
the email and opening it up...) simply something like this in panes:
  "John Doe <jdoe@somewhere.com>"
rather than simply
  "John Doe"
AFAIK this is impossible in OL2K.

3) Ability to pre-assign a default Contacts folder which may be a
sub-folder under 'Contacts' - again currently OL2K forces only
Contacts and I always have to click into one of my sub-folders.
Essentially no ability to define a different default (sub)folder when
I click on the 'TO' button to add a recipient.

---
And finally if OL03 STILL does not offer a good ability to work with
multiple email accounts in an automated fashion as well as display
full email addresses in panes - can anybody recommend some good email
client(s) (doesn't have to be a full PIM) that can. (and perhaps even
work with say a 3rd party address book like Palm)
thanks!
