I dont know the answer but I do know that what youre trying to do should
have been standard mail client behavior years ago.
So often you have a small online business that must provide emails for
admin, support, feedback, sales and so on.
Usually in those cases you catch them all in say the admin account and reply
from there, but it breaks integrity coz the reply comes from a different
respondent.

Subject: [imp] Automatically change identity based on IMAP folder?
I manage my own DNS and email server, and I have several
different email addresses under a few different domain names that
are all managed under this same server.
I perform server-side message filtering such that messages to
different email addresses of mine all get stored under separate
folders within a single IMAP account.
I'd like to configure IMP so that when I open a specific folder
under this account, the return address, signature, and possibly
other items get _automatically_ set to folder-specific values. Is
it possible to do this under IMP?
In case this isn't clear, here's an example of what I'm doing:
Suppose I have the following email accounts that are all managed
on my server:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Note that these accounts span four different domains.
My server-side email filtering puts all incoming email to all
four of these accounts into separate IMAP folders under a
catch-all email address, namely [email protected]. In this
example, suppose that the IMAP folders are named as follows:
INBOX.user1 (all mail going to [email protected])
INBOX.user2 (all mail going to [email protected])
INBOX.user3 (all mail going to [email protected])
INBOX.user4 (all mail going to [email protected])
Furthermore, suppose that I have separate "sent" folders for
each of these addresses:
INBOX.sent.user1
INBOX.sent.user2
INBOX.sent.user3
INBOX.sent.user4
What I would like to do in IMP is for the following parameters to
be automatically set whenever I am looking a a message in each of
these folders and then want to compose a new message, or when I
reply to any of these messages:
When viewing INBOX.user1 or INBOX.sent.user1:
... Return address automatically set to [email protected]
... Sent folder automatically set to INBOX.sent.user1
... Signature automatically set to a user1-specific value
When viewing INBOX.user2 or INBOX.sent.user2:
... Return address automatically set to [email protected]
... Sent folder automatically set to INBOX.sent.user2
... Signature automatically set to a user2-specific value
When viewing INBOX.user3 or INBOX.sent.user3:
... Return address automatically set to [email protected]
... Sent folder automatically set to INBOX.sent.user3
... Signature automatically set to a user3-specific value
When viewing INBOX.user4 or INBOX.sent.user4:
... Return address automatically set to [email protected]
... Sent folder automatically set to INBOX.sent.user4
... Signature automatically set to a user4-specific value
I know that I can do this by creating separate identities and
then manually switching between them. However, is there a way to
tell IMP to _automatically_ switch the identity whenever I view a
particular folder?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
