- Cannot be same host, must use alias in HOSTS file
- Technically, on any header
- Eudora seems to use byte count to limit what messages get downloaded, if you want, but doesn't seem affected by having the count increased in flight.
- Pegasus reports size based on actual size downloaded, suggesting that it's not relying on server supplied sizes.
- Pegasus must have separate hosts names for each identity to use multiple accounts, must use alias in HOSTS as in [1]
- Outlook/Express can be configured to use the same host on two ports without difficulty.
