One of these accounts is then used for sending, the other for receiving. Be aware that replies to notification emails have to be sent from the same email address, to which the notification email was sent. Therefor you should subscribe to the relevant categories with both email addresses. From the emails sent to the second account, you have to filter out all emails, which were not sent by yourself by a filter rule, in order to only receive the postings from the first email address.
			# Activate "mailinglist mode" within the menu entry "E-Mails" of the personal user settings. On one hand this leads to receiving a notification for all emails you created. As another consequence now all your active categories that are not muted, are treated like they were set to "watch". It is then no longer possible to perform fine tuning (watch, follow or watch only first post) for the notification emails between the lists/categories.
