Follow up to HUUUGE Bug in Apple Mail

[Grégoire Seither]

Hi all

Either nobody here uses Apple Mail, or I'm the only one running into 
problems... or I'm doing something wrong. If anyone could point me to 
the right direction, I'd be very thankful.

Bear with me a second, I think I have found what causes the problem :
(BTW : I have just reinstalled Mac OS X (wiped the drive clean and did 
a full install plus updates) so I should now have a fairly cosher 
system.)

I need to have multiple accounts with multiple identities for my work. 
I therefore have created different accounts all with the same POP and 
SMTP settings but with different identities (the email address and the 
description are different).

Account 1:
description : John Doe from Home
email addr. : john_home at doe.com
full name : john doe
pop : mail.doe.com
username : john.doe
smtp : mail.doe.com

Account 2:
description : John Doe from Work
email addr. : john_work at doe.com
full name : Doe Corp.
pop : mail.doe.com
username : john.doe
smtp : mail.doe.com

Apparently the fact that the two accounts use the same POP settings 
confuses Apple Mail. The messages in the InBox are flagged as belonging 
to the two accounts. If you delete one of the accounts, all messages 
belonging to that account are deleted from the Inbox....

It would be good if, in the next version of Apple Mail, the action of 
deleting (or modifying) an account in the Preferences Pane would not 
affect the messages already downloaded from the POP server.

Or am I completely wrong here ?

Cheers

Greg
