If you ever want to send email through one POP account, but with different sender info, there's a trick to doing so with mail.app. An example of this would be Yahoo! services, which allow one to have several public "personalities", each of which dump email to just one yahoo.com email address. In order to respond as the proper personality, you need to pick a different "from" address, even though you have only one POP account.
In mail.app, in the Account edit screen, you can enter multiple email addresses on the 'Email Address:' line. Separate each with a comma, and then save your changes. When you compose a new email from that account, you'll see a little pop-up for selecting which address you would like to use as the sender of the email. Very slick trick, and easier than creating an entirely new account.
You can't change the physical name, though - only the email address. If you need a different physical name, you'll have to set up different accounts.
