Email alias are a very important feature, surprisingly missing from thunderbird. Even mac mail has it. I use it as an antispam feature. For every site I interact with I will create an alias in my mail server. If I ever get spam from that alias, I just remove the alias an contact the website.  Another group of people will use   help@mycompany.com, accounting@mycompany.com all pointing to one email in the server.

mac mail accepts email  separated by commas and you will get those emails is the from fields when creating a new email

Please add this important feature.  From what I can see in the forums , a lot of people are asking for it. You should be able to split the string in the email address account configuration and just append each email to the selection option.
