doesn't work with other account types

and I also don't see why it wouldn't work with other types of accounts
I have long wished for this to work with IMAP accounts as well, but it doesn't. I haven't actually verified this just know, but a few months ago it didn't work.) For IMAP accounts, you can specify several e-mail addresses ('aliases'), either directly in the GUI by putting the addresses in the e-mail field, separated by commas; or in the plist by using an array for the key EmailAddresses. However, for the key FullUserName (which corresponds to the name field in .Mac), you can only use one string common to all e-mail addresses. Turning this simple string into an array does not work, unfortunately. I wish it would!

OK, it does indeed work, as I found out with the help of XSmurf. See his code snippet in a comment below!
