Absolutely! This is exactly what they're designed for.

If you have someone or a group of persons in your address book for
which you know you'll always use the same From address, then you can
make address book templates for them (right click the address book
entry or group and select properties to get at the templates) and
include the From address in them. The macro is:

%From='"your name" <your e-mail address>'

Place it at the end of your template.

If you have a folder with messages from many individuals, including
individuals who aren't in your address book and you wish to reply to
them using a specific From address, you can configure the folder to
use the address. Just go into the Folder properties (right click and
select properties) then go to the identity tab. There, you can enter
a From name and address. Any message that you generate while the
folder is in focus will have that From address, unless there's an
address book template with a %From macro that overrides the folder
settings.
