Basically, as have to interact with the mail frame. If you change anything in
there, you have to back out and interact again. So to get to preferences, you
have to go into the mailboxes area win the mail frame, press the actions
button, then go back into the frame and press the preferences button. From
there, go back into the frame and press the accounts button, then the aliases,
then add alias. This has been my experience. It's far from ideal, but doable.
