MailSwitch: Multiple identities in Apple Mail

mailswitchMailSwitch offers users the ability to set up individual mail accounts (like “identities” in Outlook Express) in Apple Mail without going to the trouble of setting up separate OS X user accounts. It is designed for situations in which a number of people want to check mail on a single Mac.

Each user account set up with MailSwitch has separate email stores and address books. Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer password protection for the identities, so it is best used in situations of mutual trust.

It costs USD 10 and is available from the developer’s website.

    I have a question concerning multiple identities: I have multiple e-mail adresses I use for the same e-mail account.
    I’m forwarding about 5 e-mail addresses to the same e-mail account, and it seems useful to choose from which e-mail address you respond (or write a new mail). Is there any plugin for Mail that can do this? Thx

    If I understand your problem correctly, the fix that you need — managing aliases in Mail.app — is built-in. You don’t need a plug-in; you just need to follow the steps in this post.

    Let me know if that’s the solution you are looking for.

    Apparently this much-needed application has been “discontinued” (according to the developer’s website).
