I can't believe I'm the only person who has this issue (I've scoured the
existing bugs but could find nothing). I'm a sysadmin who often needs to send
messages as postmaster@, and I subscribe to a number of lists with a special
lists@ address (for filing purposes and spam tracking). Neither of these
accounts is "real" (meaning, they don't have a physical mailbox, they just come
into my normal account), but they need to be distinct when sending. I currently
use evolution, which I seriously dislike, but it has the ability to create a
"return address only" account (I got around this lack in older mail clients by
creating a never-checked POP account clone of my main account). It's a godsend.
Other than that, I don't like evolution (it's slow and buggy).
When I tried to use mozilla mail and thunderbird, I figured that they'd have
options like this. Not only do they not have a return-address-only account, but
I can't even fake it with a POP account because it complains when the same
login/server pair are entered into another account.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an account
2. Create another account, with a different return address, but the same server
and login name
Actual Results:
Get an error complaining about a duplicate login/server pair.
Expected Results:
It might warn me, but let me create the account, anyway, because I know what I'm
doing.
