Using Email Aliases in Mail on Mac OS X

This is one of those things that I’ve wondered about for a very long time but never got around to actually trying to figure out. Apparently, it’s very easy to set up Mail on Mac OS X to use email aliases:

Do you have multiple email addresses that are “aliases” to a central email account? If you do, you can configure Mail in Mac OS X so that it can easily get and send email from all of your addresses. Here’s how.

This is a built-in (but extremely hidden) feature of Mail, so don’t worry… no hacks required. It would be really nice if this also works on the iPhone after a sync, but I haven’t tried it yet. (And I really doubt it.)

UPDATE: Wow, it works. After syncing my iPhone via iTunes, the email aliases show up on the iPhone under the “From:” field when sending a message.
