Evolution picks up wrong sender

[Keywan Tonekaboni]

Binary package hint: evolution

I had two accounts set up. A local one (<email address hidden>) and my personal mail as an IMAP Account. My personal mail address is my default. When I reply to a mail in the local account, Evolution set the default address as sender and not the correct one from the used local account. I replied to the mail from a real local folder, not a search folder.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Also, please answer these questions:
* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem and resolving this bug.

[Keywan Tonekaboni (prometoys)]

Yes, it is reproducible.

1. Read an mail in the <email address hidden> account, which is not the default account.
2. Click on "Reply"

What happened: The sender is "<email address hidden>", which is set as a sender in the default account account.

What do I expect: The sender should be the one from the account I actually use to read this mail.

It is reproducible also, when I change the default account.

I have one POP Account (lists), one IMAP account (default) and a local account for mails from my ubuntu system (mails for root, from cron etc).

I hope this information helps. Thank you for taking care.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the sender used by default is the one who correspond to the adress where the email was sent to, isn't that the case in your example?

[Keywan Tonekaboni (prometoys)]

No. The mail was send to "<email address hidden>", and this should be the default sender (and was so under hardy, gutsy,...) BUT at the moment it is every time "<email address hidden>", which is the mail address of the default account..

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

not confirming the issue on intrepid, the bug should be sent to bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the issue
