There's some recent linux-foo associated with getting this right. In the 'turd's case, all it needs to do is figure out that if I'm sending FROM foo.com use foo.com's smtp server and if it's FROM bar.com us BAR's smtp server. How fucking hard is that? > Extension? Multiple IDs are built into it. Um, er.... no. The 'turd will not let you edit the "from" line -- see the extension "Virtual Identity" -- Warning - be careful with this extension-- it's a corker. (safety tip, turn OFF "smart" reply and "smart" draft -- they are anything but smart.) With virtual ID, If you have two accounts configured, you'll get a pulldown-menu with two addresses. No ability to use b...@foo.com and f...@foo.com unless you configure them as separate accounts. No ability to do THAT if the username and password are the same on the IMAP server. After all, how could it be a different email address if it's the same account? That doesn't make sense! duh.
