   In addition to being a true multi-user system TP also supports profiles.    
   Profiles are what other programs refer to as personalities. Users can    
   have a "work" personality that uses their work e-mail address and an    
   appropriate .sig message. They can have others for different newsgroups    
   or mailboxes.   
      
   In TP the profile chosen affects; from email address, reply-to address,    
   destination folder for filed mail, .sig message and message ID domain.   
      
   Each mail folder can have its own default personality, but it is    
   possible to override the default. When you have a folder selected and    
   create a new email message the message uses that folder's default    
   personality but that can be changed before sending the message.   
      
   Speaking of message folders, TP has a filtering system that allows each    
   folder to have its own routing rules configure using either simple    
   point-and-click settings or using regexps. Mail delivered to TP first    
   goes through the seat-processing rules which determine which user gets    
   the message. So, for instance spam messages addressed by anyone can be    
   diverted to an administrator. Once delivered to the user the messages go    
   through that user's routing rules to decide which folder they end in.    
   Message delivery to a folder can trigger events that animate the folder    
   icon or play a .wav sound. The appearance of a folder icon changes if it    
   contains unread messages.
