Other thoughts

Could probably write other layouts but it suited me for Thunderbird. Could cron for certain accounts eg admin archive every 3-0 days etc.

Not the fastest, but does what I want.

Could be more modular, could open the accounts DB and go through each user? Not sure about passwords.

Could be used in Smanager.

Bugs

Probably lots.
