Not sure if this is an issue for list members but some time ago when
.Mac introduced the new package for members they included aliases which
were slightly difficult to get working in Mail. There were a few work
rounds mentioned over a period of time and by far the easiest which I
adopted was the one which said to open an IMAP account and put the
various addresses in the SMTP box in the set up with a comma
separation. Which works beautifully, in the sense that SMTP aliases
work in a very simple and uncomplicated way. However, I am not sure
IMAP is a good idea for a shared broadband connection with occasional
disconnection either by closing the application or problems with the
network requiring maintenance etc. I also have POP accounts with other
providers and I am not sure mixing POP and IMAP is very clever. I
would make the POP accounts (BTConnect) IMAP as well if I thought it
would help but I don't see BT offering a way to do this.
After that long preamble, for which I apologize, my question is: Does
anyone know why the same method of set up of the SMTP addresses does
not apparently work with either a POP account or a .Mac account and can
anyone explain the subtle difference between a .Mac account and an IMAP
account?
Thanks.
