Ok, so what you are saying is that you have two mail aliasses (i.e., two
adresses, pointing to the same mailbox), which you want to treat separately
with PMMail.  Right?This is doable, just not straightforward.  The way I have done this (I have
five mail alliases for which I do this!) is as follows (if anyone knows a
better way, please tell):
1) Create a PMMail account for your 'real' mailbox, using the correct login
and server settings as by your provider.2) In that account set-up a folder for all the aliasses you want to separate.
3) Create filters for each of the aliasses that filter mail for that alias and
move it to the above created directories.4) For each of the aliasses, create a new accout.  Now specifying SMTP receive
and point to the folder in which the above filters put the mail (you need to
specify the real location, e.g., D:\SouthSft\PMMail\Account\AliasFolder). 
Configure this account to frequently refresh (e.g., 5 seconds).
