Yes, I agree. In some ways Win32's Outlook Express handled identities 
better 5 or 6 years ago than Mail.app does today. But since I have only 
2 identities I just have 2 mailboxes on the IMAP server (as I think I 
have done since some time before I started using a Mac) and Mail.app 
handles them fine, for me.
