However, I've reached the point of using Gmail as my centralized hub for managing all of them. It can check multiple addresses and can "send as" from each of them and more. It's not a bulletproof configuration, though: I sent "from" my iastate address to my future employer's utah.edu address, and he replied in kind, yet our respective Gmail accounts went behind our backs and created contacts that included our Gmail addresses alongside our university addresses, not to mention our pictures... Wendy and I have a shared Gmail account that simply forwards to our respective individual addresses, and we can both send from it -- but the conversation threading doesn't properly update on my account if she replies using hers, for example, so again, it isn't perfect.
