It can also be used to move mail between different accounts.  A folder
containing mail in one account can set as the SMTP address for a second
account which will then retrieve those messages from that folder into
the second account's Inbox.  This gets around a limitation in the
PMMail filters which does not enable the filtering of email from one
account to another.
