Evolution always send e-mail through default smtp account

[Jose M. Albarrán]

Binary package hint: evolution

I have configured evolution with several mail accounts (4 POP3 accounts and a Google IMAP account).

When I try to send e-mail, I choose the correct account to send it. But, when I click send/receive button, I see all the mail sending through the same smtp server, that is the smtp server of the default (first POP3) account.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Also having this issue. Current workaround is to switch the default account before sending the email.

Very annoying and slows productivity.

Hi

I don't know if is the same or different bug, but it also happens with meetings sent by calendar. You choose in the calendar one account to send the meeting request, but evolution always send the meeting through first mail account.

In a business context, this bug is hardly bearable because it can cause extremely embarassing situations to send read receipts with unwanted Sender addresses.

I'd greatly appreciate if this bug could be escalated to at least "Normal" priority because it renders an important MUA feature almost unusable for business users with multiple identities.

I just reported this upstream and then found out its already present here.
