But, nothing I suggested will prevent you from this. Simply set up as
many mailboxes as you like and let each have it own "From" and
"Reply"-name - but let all have *the same* smtp-settings. I promise
you, that this will work, as I am doing it currently!

Believe me: I've *been* there :-(

But you have no viable alternative because your ISP's do not *allow*
you any alternative. Who is dictating then?

I'm using www.myrealbox.com as you can see, and I'm reasonably
satisfied. I haven't tried sending from *that* many domains, but until
now I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I connect to four different
ISP's during the day in order to cut expenses - but no matter where I
am connected, I always send from the MyRealBox SMTP-server. All you
need to do for each account is
1) get an account with MyRealBox (or whatever you choose)
2) let myrealbox.com be your SMTP-setting in all mailboxes
3) Set "Authentication" to "Perform SMTP-authentication" (with
"Specific settings" in all mailboxes with different sending identities
than your MyRealBox sending identity - and "Use settings of Mail
Retrieval" in your MyRealbox-mailbox (if you want to *have* a
MyRealBox-mailbox - you're free to use only their SMTP-server)).

What I meant was this: If you start using one of the suggested
addresses and get your various correspondents used to send to *that*
address, you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of using a *web-account*
for sending and retrieving mail - namely, the benefit of reading your
mail where ever there is a device with a browser. After your messages
are read on the web-interface of your web-account, you just mark them
all "unread" and they are ready for TB to download them when you get
home to your PC.
