Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux I would like to be able to configure KMail, so that all mail being sent to address 'foo', comes from identity 'bar'. The use of mailing list folders and configuring them with a default identity comes close, but doesn't go the whole distance. Sometimes I'll send an email when I'm not in the mailing list folder, I forget to set the identity, and then the mail gets rejected.
I was about to complain about this myself, but I just discovered: When in the compose window, there is a checkbox next to the identity selection saying "Sticky." If you select that, all mail to that address in the future will come from the identity you select! That should deal with your problem, right?
Never mind, sticky makes that identity apply to all new mails, regardless of address. Okay: Please add an ability to automatically select identity based on the address you're replying to. I'm very frustrated with my mail to listservs always being rejected.
Automatically selecting identity based on the recipients' addresses should work for not only concrete recipient addresses, but rather for address rules. What I mean... mails to any address of a company should be sent from a specific identity. The user should be able to specify that "foo" identity should be used for all recipients *company1.com and "bar" for all recipients *company2.com and so on. Before sending a mail, KMail should also complain (and request confirmation) if the identity is incompatible with one of the recipients.
