I have several aliases and alternate addresses through the same email
company (Fastmail), separate from my ISP. In Sylpheed, I set each
up as as individual account but they get the same settings as the main
account. When I "Get all" in Sylpheed, it goes through each of the
addresses, drawing off Fastmail's server.
