But I cannot figure out how to add them.

When I add them, will different accounts have different passwords to access them? I'm guessing "Yes".

I've been trolling through here http://www.apple.com/support/dotmac/mail/ to no avail.

And thanks on the keyboard command info on my first thread.

Login to .Mac web-mail and go under the "Preferences" within .Mac web-mail. From there you can add up to (4) e-mail aliases.

So you have (1) primary e-mail address and up to (4) e-mail aliases that make up your (5) accounts.

All the e-mails to the aliases just go into your primary e-mail account, so you do not have separate e-mail passwords for each account. Make sense?

Yes. So I can't give my wife an account unless I share my password with her.

Thanks.

You can add an email only account to your .Mac account for $10/year to give to your wife. I believe it has a 250MB quota. It will have it's own login and password. You can also upgrade it to a full .Mac account any time if you decide.

its a 250mb quota ONLY if he buys the .mac Family pack, the $10 fee is only a 50mb EMAIL quota, still not that bad. The .mac family pack allows an additional 4 people to have their own .mac accounts, each 250mb. However that can also includes an iDisk.

Thats an additional $80/yr

But on my wife's 12" iBook, my Mail does not show the second account in my user group Mail application.

I'm going to update her to 10.4.3
Think it will solve the problem?

In addition, on her iBook, in my user group, there is not an option to "add alias's"

Clear as mud? Should I clean my glasses?

Just donate these to the library and buy two new MacBooks?

What preference [in the Library?] must I Backup to allow my signatures to appear on my user account on her computer?

I'd rather not type them in every time.

Thanks.

Same think for all Library preferences. Just copy it to disc, and substitute? Or link them with a fireware cable?

I figured it out. She was running 10.3, with a different Mail version.
