And I also try to separate the work address and theother address.But even if I use a freemail, I get only one address for personal use.They explicitly disallow registering more (because I could use morespace then). And dealing with several different freemails is terrible.Dyndyns does not work for me. It is only a technical issue to get itworking (recompiling the client for mips or whatever) but there isstill no place where I could receive the emails at home.First the computers eat energy when they are running all the time.

Oh, one other excuse for wanting this:

I'm a firm believer in things working in parallel.  If you can define an

That being said, I wouldn't mind that much a functionality that didn't 
let you define such a thing either.
