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. _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected] http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
