These are seperate email accounts, different POP accounts, that just
happen to be on the same domain and that just happen to be owned by
the same person (you). These are not aliases.

They are not aliases. An alias is a different name for the same POP
account. For example, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> will
both end up in this one mailbox. They go to the same account, even
though they have different names (hence "alias", meaning "also" in
some old langauge ;-))

I think this would not only overcomplicate usage - as well as
programme development, thus inviting bugs - but also bloat the thing.

For example?
Oh, by the way, you can still filter from any account into one
account. Since you have set up mutliple POP accounts with your ISP, I
would assume you have a reason for it - so why would you want to
intermix them again anyway?
