Outlook 2013 Identities? Aliases?

[The Blade]

This has probably been covered 1000 times but I can't seem to find an answer.

For an imap account.........

Is there no way to use multiple identities at all? Is there an add-in that can do it?

Thunderbird allows me to have multiple identities on a single account. I know I can do different profiles in Outlook but at that point I might as well setup multiple accounts.

Is there just no way to do it?

Can it be done with an exchange server account?

I would like to come back to Outlook badly, but I need to overcome this obstacle.

Help please?

In pop3 and imap, provided your host allows it, you can just type the email address in the From field. If the email host allows you to use different From addresses, the message will be from that address. If you don't see the from field, look on the options tab of an open message.

While there are ways to do it in Exchange, it's not much easier... you need to have a mail contact or distribution group in the AD and have send as permission on it.
