Identities in Adium

Post by natharari »

Hi there,

I did search in the forum and in Google for this, but I haven't found a clear answer yet:

In Adium, in contacts, there's a name at the top. I can display a name for an account of mine. The problem is, some of my accounts are private (business) and some are just fun accounts (games). I'd rather not mix my business name and my game name. That would look really.... "not professional".

So, question: How do I keep two identities in adium completely and utterly separate? Do I just run Adium for one identity only? Because it only gives me the option to display the name for one email account, and it doesn't appear to give me the choice to identify myself a different way for each email account. I'm not sure why, but that's a problem for me.

Any input/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

You can choose an alias for each of your accounts in the accounts' preferences. Look in Preferences -> Accounts.
