If that's your idea of a "solution", then the actual solution is
to use an email client that works properly. This is not an
unreasonable request, and there are plenty of clients that
support this. Hell, my newsreader lets me make up NEW
identities on the fly!
Part of the problem with multiple profiles is that they are a
PITA this client is supposed to make using it easier, not more
difficult. What you're suggesting is a step backwards to
Netscape Communicator, not an advancement for Mozilla.
