having trouble reproducing this (account type Exchange)
Authored by: moritzh on Dec 19, '05 09:29:26AM

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.

Sure thing, here it is... I stripped some useless stuff, but the important remains.

<key>MailAccounts</key>
<array>
	<dict>
		<key>AccountName</key>
		<string>User@example.com</string>
		<key>AccountPath</key>
		<string>~/Library/Mail/IMAP-user@example.com</string>
		<key>AccountType</key>
		<string>IMAPAccount</string>
		<key>EmailAddresses</key>
		<array>
			<string>user@example.com</string>
		</array>
		<key>EmailAliases</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>alias</key>
				<string>alias1@example.com</string>
				<key>name</key>
				<string>Name 1</string>
			</dict>
			<dict>
				<key>alias</key>
				<string>alias2@example.com</string>
				<key>name</key>
				<string>Name 2</string>
			</dict>
		</array>
		<key>FullUserName</key>
		<string>Official Name</string>
	</dict>
</array>
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!
