Ok !
But the problem is that the mail-address I've forwarded the mail to  says :
To : <alias> and not <another account> which the mail-server then rejects
(the account is not valid).

PS ! <another account> is not on my system !

That's the way it is supposed to be.

The "To:" that is shown in mail clients comes from the header of the
message.  The message header is created by the E-mail client (the sender of
the message), except for a few headers that get added along the way.

Often E-mails get sent to multiple people.  Using the "To:" field, all of
them get the exact same message, with the same initial headers.

In IMail, you're lucky, because you *can* see <another account> (although
nobody else receiving the message will).  It's hidden in the headers in the
"X-RCPT-TO: " field.

Using the "To:" field actually is going to work very well for me, as I have
a domain name with a bunch of different E-mail addresses that all come to
me.  Since I configured my E-mail client to get the mail, I already know
what the <another account> is.  And, through the "To:" field, I can see the
actual E-mail address that it was sent to.
