I'm curious as to how some of you multi machine users keep your mail separate or if you even try. For example, I have setup a pop3 account using this server for all of my Mac specific mail in an effort to keep my PC/Mac stuff on the respective machines that the mail applies to. I was going to use my Adelphia account for this purpose as they are supposed to allow several different email addresses for each high speed account, but they have been less than forthcoming as to how to accomplish this feat. I've noticed an increase in the number of people who use both Windows and Macs and perhaps some of you are wondering about this also? There are a number of free pop3 servers out there, I just put pop email services in Google to come up with a list including this bluebottle.com that I chose to try. Anyone else?
I have one E-mail account with my ISP and about 8 aliases. E-mail sent to an alias goes to the the e-mail account. The aliases are set up for different mailing lists, Usenet, personal, professional, vendor orders, etc.
One problem is that a message sent to a given alias isn't always identified thusly. But most of the time it is. I filter mail sent to the Usenet address into a separate mailbox and most of that mail is junk so it's easy to trash it.
Another thing is that when I originate a message to a mailing list I have to set the from address to the appropriate alias. Sometimes I forget, a filter catches it and I have to resend it.
All the times I've setup additional e-mail accounts the vendor has a web page to do it.
