10.5: Add unique names to .Mac email aliases?
Authored by: jonfullmer on Nov 30, '07 10:07:05AM

I've struggled with this as well. In the past, I've created multiple accounts, but, as you all know, this creates the undesirable side effect of Mail.app wanting to "check mail" (when the account doesn't actually exist).

I came across these instructions and was very excited by the possibilities. The comma-separated trick does work, but, like others on this, I'd love to be able to use a unique "Full Name" with each alias.

I tried to create the EmailAliases entries in the com.apple.mail.plist file, following the above-mentioned instructions. It doesn't work. It could be that I'm using 10.5. It could be that I'm using a POP account, I guess.

Has anyone figured out anything else? Any help would be appreciated.
