Forging the "To" Section of an E-Mail

Is there a way to do this? Like, could I send myself an e-mail but make it appear as though I'm sending it to someone else?

I think the questions best answered with a question, WHY??

(Open two email accounts and do it that way, send one to the other)

Yes. Spammers do it all the time. It is a header edit. This is called spoofing. Google it.

Yes, its possible.

That is why most people use SPF / DomainKeys to verify the authenticity of the sender.
