If you want use the new .mac email aliases feature in Apple's Mail, here is an easy way to do it:
- Delete your current .mac account from the Preferences Pane.
- Recreate the account, but choose IMAP instead of .Mac for the account type.
- In the email address field, add your email address plus all the email aliases you have separated by commas.
Now when you compose a new email message, you can choose which email address or alias you like to use. Enjoy!
[robg adds: Take care when you delete an account in Mail -- I'm paranoid of losing messages, so I always backup before doing anything like this. I have not tested this one yet, but will do so once I get around to setting up some aliases.]
