More Exchange Support in Mail, Please!

Dear Cupertino,

I love Mail. I love the way it handles all my emails, and the fact that I can have a single inbox for all my email accounts. It's fantastic that it can handle Exchange mail servers in the first place - if it didn't, there would be a serious deficiency on Apple's part.


However - there is one flaw that I've recently encountered that can be easily fixed; Mail, in it's current iteration, can only support one Exchange inbox at a time. Just one, and not one more.

Of course, you can see where this would be massively frustrating - if you're at home and you and your partner have Exchange accounts on your company's server, then you're up the creek without a paddle. You then have to resort to using a third party program which does have multiple Exchange inbox support, or worse - use the ugly-as-sin Entourage 2008 client for Mac (which only supports Exchange if you buy the Standard edition, not Home and Student).

However hard I wonder why Apple hasn't built this into Mail, I can't quite seem to fathom why they have done so.

Anyways - I'd love to see this feature in 10.6 - kudos to Apple if they deliver the goods.

Thanks,
Benny Ling
