Add unique names to .Mac email aliases
Ok this works for non .Mac addresses to, but it's a bit different.
First remove any other comma separated emails that you may have set to for your account (except for the main address) in the Mail preferences (it can be done manually to, obviously).
Now it's time for editing. In the plist add a new child to your account, call it
EmailAliases and make it of the Array type. Then create another child, make it of the Dictionary type (it will automagically get "0" as its name). Create two children for the last item. Call the first one Alias and the second Name. Fill them up and *tada*! You can add as many children to EmailAliases as you want.---

I forgot to mention you *do not* need to remove your full name from the preferences... also I didn't see the previous post, was editing when it got posted...

Ho yeah, one last thing (sorry for the comment spree)...
[off topic] self-signed cert
If you import your self-signed cert into the X509 anchors keychain, won't that stop Mail.app from asking you every time? I used to run a setup with a local IMAP server as described on this site, but I don't anymore. I remember that I initially got this error as well, but somehow could get rid of it. I think using the correct procedure to create the self-signed certificate and then importing it into the X509 anchors did it. Note that now the keychain comes with a nice Certificate Assistant (directly in the Keychain menu). Unfortunately, some of the external links in the discussions have gone away, but it might be worth it to read the comments again!
[off topic] self-signed cert
Yup I tried that. I had a lot of problems with certs. The 509 Anchor keychain wouldn't take my Thawte certs! I ended up rebuilding it from the install files.
having trouble reproducing this (account type Exchange)
That sounds like good news, except that I hev trouble reproducing your results. It doesn't work for me at the moment. Mail.app is confused, the account selection drop down menu in open messages has disappeared and I cannnot create new messages (I do have a backup, of course). Could you post a snipped from your XML (plist), please? Thanks a lot! Either I'm doing something wrong, or it is because my account type is Exchange rather than IMAP.
having trouble reproducing this (account type Exchange)
Sure thing, here it is...
I stripped some useless stuff, but the important remains.
Works great here, mail even matches my aliases with their proper Thawte certificates!---
it works (with account type Exchange, too)!
OK, thanks for the snippet, so much easier to read! :) I made a mistake before (I put the code in the
EmailAddresses field instead of the EmailAliases field), plus I discovered that it must be name (not Name) and alias (not Alias). Now it works for my Exchange account!
