> Is it really a problem?
Yes. To send with different sender/return addresses Mail needs separate
accounts. (And I need to be able to send by these other addresses for some
mailing lists to which I subscribe.)
Since my web hotel does not provide me with real POP3 accounts for my
alternatitve domains, I have a single POP3 account and a set of alises on
which I can receive to the same POP3 account. So I have a single
Incoming/Outgoing account set up in Mail and [used to have] multiple
Outgoing ones. Glorified "return address", sort of.
> If you don't have a outgoing chain just remove the server name and the
outgoing protocol should not be loaded (modulo bugs ;)).
It was the other way around. Not having Incoming. Since I can't make the
second account -not- have an incoming part it fails each time on trying to
connect and receive mail, since the server name is empty. (I guess I could
add the same POP3 in the second account, unless they're checked in
parallel.)
>Is there really a realistic/common usecase for a single chain? Otherwise
it would just blow up the user interface because you need a way to add
single chains again, this was missing before too...
No it was not. There was an option to set the account either Incoming,
Outgoing or Both Incoming and Outgoing.
Having disjoint setups isn't unthinkable at all. Even in the normal case
with a single In/Out account, the POP3 and the SMTP are often not provided
by the same entity. E.g. SMTP via your broadband ISP, POP3 or IMAP via
Google.
