If your email addresses are all "aliases" for one mailbox, you'll still need
Message Rules when using separate Identities.

Most families (an intentionally all-encompassing term) will have one Mail
Account with their one ISP subscription ($$/month for all). Most ISPs
provide you with multiple Addresses for the Mail Account (e.g., ,
, etc.) but all of them "point" to the one mailbox. As such,
each Identity will need to use Message Rules so that only mail addressed to
them is downloaded into their Inbox.

The following refers to two addresses, but you should be able to follow it
and amend for three or more.

and are aliases for one Mail Account (mailbox). In
the Identity associated with
, create a Message Rule stating,
"Where To or CC contains
, Do not download it from the server"
and place this rule at the very top of the list.

Then create a similar rule for the Identity associated with

directing any messages addressed to
not to be downloaded from the
server.
