• Mac Mail & Multiple From E-mail Addresses

  Being an old Eudora user, I very much enjoyed the Eudora ‘Personalities’ feature. Since I moved over to Mac Mail, I was frustrated that this feature appeared not to be part of the software. And, being a geek with multiple domains, I have many email addresses dumping into one main email account.

  Well, after digging around and *not* finding this in the Mac help files, I googled around and found you can indeed have multiple from: addresses using Mac Mail. Here’s how:

  To set up multiple addresses for one account in Mac OS X Mail:

  • Select Mail | Preferences… from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.
  • Go to the Accounts category.
  • Highlight the desired account.
  • Enter all email addresses you want to use with this account in the Email Address: field. Be sure to separate the addresses by commas: me@yadda.com, nick@website.com.

  After you have closed the configuration dialog and saved the new settings you can send mail from all these email addresses. You’ll notice a drop down box at the top of each new mail message which will allow you to choose which From: address you’d like to use for that message.
