[ale] mutiple e-mail address management - kmail

[David Corbin]

I'm not sure what you mean by "Profile"in this sense, but KMail supports 
multiple identities.   Each mail you send will have a combo box at the top to 
select one.  Furthermore, you can associate an identity with a folder, so if 
all of your ALE mail goes into one folder, you set your "ale address" on that 
folder.   Not 100% sure of the details of what "associations" are made, but 
by doing this, I seldom run into bounce mails from tight mailing lists.
