For my work and family life I need at least two email +accounts (I have four) and I read tens of newsgroups (sure most of +newsgroups, not all of them, are from gmane.org, so they could be meshed +into email lists with just a small use of functionality). How can I do +this with webmail? Sure I could have more tabs opened for more accounts, +but can any webmail manage more accounts (can RoundCube do it)? Can I +move a message between two accounts?
