Hi all,

I'm almost finished with updating to El Capitan via the painful clean install 
route. I'm horribly disappointed with Apple's attempt to make my work computer 
behave like a phone. Anyways....

Here is something that is frustrating me and for which I could not find a 
solution.

Backstory:

I have 2 alumni forwarding addresses I use for for places which like tying an 
email address to an account. Why do I do this? Because if I would change my 
default email address (something which happened more often in the past), I 
would simply need to point the alumni addresses to the new address, and 
everything would be fixed. No need to track what address was used where, etc.

Actual need: 

I have my alumni email addresses tied to many accounts. I need to send mail 
with that email address as the 'From' address.

Problem:

In the past, you could give Mail.app a list of email addresses separated by 
commas, all of which were tied to a single account. You could then send email 
from these addresses [1]. Version 9 of Mail.app (which comes with El Capitan) 
has a dropdown which allows only the use of Apple's own aliases for iCloud 
accounts. 

Does anyone know how to work around this? 

I'd like to keep my whasamattau.edu address pointing to my Apple mail account 
for incoming mail AND use it for outgoing mail (which is important if it is 
tied to an account). I really don't want to start changing all my registrations 
to my mac.com email address [2], but I also don't want to start pointing all 
this mail to the snoopers at Google.

Help!

Bill

[1] You could also tie the email addresses to specific outgoing mail servers.

[2] Apple will eventually force everyone off of mac.com when it helps their 
brand.
