In other words, if you receive mail at more than one address on one or more computers -- but all the mail is put into a single set of mail folders -- then the other addresses are your "alternate mailboxes."
This can happen with a setup like the one in the Section Changing MH Directory Name, where Walt is getting mail from three accounts that all inc into the same set of folders. It can also happen when mail is forwarded from other accounts -- for example, with a .forward file under UNIX Sendmail, a SET FORWARD command under VMS Mail, etc.
Some good reasons to tell MH the addresses of these alternate mailboxes:
Alternate-Mailboxes: project, walter
That entry may not be enough to catch all of the mail, though; the
Alternate-Mailboxes: entry has to match
the From: address exactly. Depending on Walter's
computer, some of the mail he sends may have his full network
address (like walt@xxx.yyy.zzz) in the
From: header field. An asterisk (*) means "match
all." So Walt may want to use this entry instead:
Alternate-Mailboxes: project@*, walter@*
That matches any addresses that start with project@... or
walter@.... Unfortunately, it also includes addresses that
start with those words on other computers -- even if they're not
his accounts. The following entry with his fully qualified
hostname might be best of all:
Alternate-Mailboxes: project, project@xxx.yyy.zzz,
walter, walter@xxx.yyy.zzz
(You can continue an entry on another line by ending a line with a
comma and indenting the next line with space or a tab.) Finally,
if Walt reads mail while logged on to either of his walter
or project accounts, he should
put Alternate-Mailboxes: entries in
the .mh_profile files on those accounts.
