In order to be able to send email with different senders, as far as I can tell I
have to set up multiple accounts. This is sometimes inconvenient - for example I
send email as several roles in my company, but the addresses are just aliases to
my one account. Currently in order for the addresses to appear in the "From"
dropdown, I am forced to set up multiple accounts with bogus pop server info,
which seems silly - it clutters up the accounts pane, makes me "cancel" several
times each time I download email, etc. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A
Actual Results:  
N/A

Expected Results:  
It would be nice if there were a way to add "aliases" to the From dropdown
without actually creating an account. Failing that, it would be nice if I could
if I could mark an acount as "never download" and/or leave the pop server and
account info blank.
