Detailed Email client question, opinions needed (long)

That is very useful info to have! Why is that feature undocumented?
I experimented with Postbox a bit today and I quite like it. Based on Thunderbird, apparently, but feels more like Apple Mail while integrating better with third party apps.

Yeah, I use that feature too, but usually only with single emails.

Hit the "from" field when sending, and choose whatever email your wan to "send" from.

Not exactly undocumented, if you dig deep enough you can find it in the help file.

Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account
If you have multiple email addresses that are aliases to an email account, you can set up Mail so that you can send messages from any of the addresses. For example, Tom Clark could send messages from tclark@example.org or the alias webmaster@example.org. You don’t need to add a separate account for each address.

To use multiple email aliases:

Choose Mail > Preferences and click Accounts.

From the Accounts list, select the account to which messages from your aliases are sent.

In the Email Address field in the Account Information pane, enter all the addresses that are aliases for the account, separated by commas. For example, webmaster@example.org, sales@example.org, support@example2.org.

Close the Preferences window, and then click Save in the message that appears.

When you compose messages, all the email addresses are listed in the From pop-up menu in the header, and you can choose an address to use as the From address.

Here's a web page with some screen shots and examples.

I'm testing out Postbox and mostly liking it. Clean interface, VERY fast. Some aspects of Mail are better (display of conversations, outgoing rules) but I'll see how this goes for now.
