I've searched the intertubes for a way to do this and can't seem to find one so here goes.
Before my recent Mac purchase, I had been using Thunderbird for email. I like the integration between MacMail and the Mac Address Book and want to keep using it, but it's not doing something that I really liked from Thunderbird.
I have a boatload of email addresses, and have rules at the mail handler at my domain autoforward them all to one address. I do this to be able to shut those addresses off easily, and to control who I give my real address to.
In thunderbird, if I wanted to send mail from one of those addresses, I could set up what thunderbird called an "identity". Basically, just telling thinderbird to use foo@mydomain.com as the "from" address rather than myRealAddress@mydomain.com
I want to do that in MacMail, but I haven't seen a way to. The only way seems to be to set up a real mail account using those fakish addresses and use the "From" pulldown in MacMail. But, there is no real account behind them so I can't go through the whole account setup process successfully.
Any help or pointers is appreciated.
