[ale] mutiple e-mail address management - kmail

[Jay Loden]

Ok, i got it now, thanks for the replies...I just didnt have a separate 
"Identity" so the "Identity" pulldown box never popped up before, so I had no 
idea it was there. 

The threading was on but I had "thread messages by subject" checked and not 
"Thread messages" so it wasn't actually doing it

Everything is working the way I'd like now :)
