Hello,

My problem: I'm using the same POP3 mailbox for receiving both private mails and
work-related mails. This works by forwarding all my various E-mail addresses to
this one mailbox. Now, when I'm *sending* mails, I want to use different
"personalities" (private, work etc.) with different sender addresses and
different signature texts. But as far as I can see, there is currently no way to
have several Mail accounts that use the same POP3 mailbox (I get an error when I
try to create a second account with the same POP3 data), so I'd like to request
this feature.

If that's not possible, please add at least the possibility to have several
sender addresses per Mail account that can be selected in the Mail composer
window. Currently I'm using a workaround by having several fake News (not Mail)
accounts with different E-mail addresses. These show up in the Mail composer
window and can be selected as sender, but that's obviously not a "clean" solution.

Thanks,
Joerg
