Hi Dave,

thanks for your reply. Making the select methods, etc. environment
specific would be a good thing to do. I will think about it. I am also
thinking about going one step further and even have to seperate user
accounts / logins. Then I could seperate not only mails but also
directories, window managener preferences, etc. ... have to think about
it.

Best,
Michael
