What's New
Version 2.3.1:
- Fixed bug in which space-bar navigation didn't work correctly.
- Fixed memory leaks discovered during rebuild/migration testing.
- Mailsmith no longer checks the installed version of SpamSieve; this avoids problems in which the version number in newer versions incorrectly failed the requirements test, so that Mailsmith thought that SpamSieve was not available.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.5 or later

Mailsmith is the ONLY mail program I know (and I have tested a lot if not all for Mac) that can handle my 420 SMTP accounts combined with just 1 POP3 account. It can pass all my mails through my own scripts using the shell. It's one of really few clients that displays raw content without all these stupid HTML-Elements. If you request HTML you also want to have a build security hole. I don't want my mail in HTML.
And Mailsmith is really fast. I have over 5000 mails in my archives and can search in < 30sec in all these mails for any term.
Summed up: Mailsmith is for the pros. If you search an 'app' don't use this as this program provides features not fun. Without some knowledge in POP3,SMTP,Shell,RegEx.. you possibly even don't know what to do with all these features.
Bought this years ago for a lot of money and although it's free now I don't regret that I payed for it.

Sluggish, impossible to find the functionality you're looking for (eg. setting up accounts), etc. Everything is malplaced and slow.
Won't recommend.

No need to hold breath. Hey presto...

A new public release of Mailsmith is now available; version
2.3.1 includes a couple of bug fixes.

As they say, Read The Friendly Manual ;)
It took me a few seconds to find the instructions in page 14.
I have not read that section, but I got "lucky" and found this functionality under Window>Accounts.
Many years ago I did read parts of the manual regarding searching, filtering, scripting, etc.
You could also try the Help. It clearly shows how to set up your accounts.
I recently have switched, especially due to its high speed search capabilities, to PowerMail, but Mailsmith is still a great piece of software.
There are excellent email clients, not so sophisticated as Mailsmith and PowerMail, but which do the work.
It's a matter of being confortable with the tools you chose. If Mailsmith does not suit your needs, it's ok for you to find other alternatives. I also like GyazMail.

Seriously, though, if Mailsmith was your favorite email app (and it was for me), you should take a look at MailMate. It's IMAP-only, and very powerful, stable, and actively developed.

I've used POP for 12 years now, and am using it on my own mail servers; I still find POP the best (for me), so I don't need IMAP.

Among the application's strengths is support for SpamSeive, a robust spam filter. Other than window width, the interface is quite flexible, though there appears to be no way to customize the menu bar.
It is another program, like Text Wrangler, that BareBones has set free, for which I commend them. It remains to be seen if the "new" company in charge of it will continue development.

But, please, add IMAP support...

I think it's a very safe assumption that you're never going to see Mailsmith support IMAP.

Also, I wasn't able to paste images inline.
Both of those issues are dealbreakers for me, even though the software is free.
