Hallo Rich,

You can use different from-addresses without installing multiple
accounts. When you want to select the from-address from a list, then
you can choose only between the from-addresses of the various
accounts, but you can manually insert every from-address you prefer.

There's also the possibility to set identities for different folders
(folder - properties - identity) there you can set the from from
address you want to use for that folder. Since you'll probably use
different addresses for different functions it's likely that you'll sort
messages addressed to your different addresses each to it's own folder
and you can set the folder identities appropriate.

Another option to change the from-address is the %from macro in the
templates. You could use that macro in Address Book templates, for
each entry in your address book, or group of addresses, you can use a
different template.

Templates are powerful tools in TB. With those templates you can
create a default structure for your text, but you can also change some
headers by means of a wide variety of macros. Stay around on this list
for a while and you'll get the picture.
