Therefore Trojita should not only allow me to open a

should also allow my calendar software to send meeting

implemented in the OS and not directly in Trojita.
To send mails you'll invoke sendmail or an smtp client.
That _can_ be GUI process but does not have to be (supposing the message
is auto-generated)
The calender SW also could implement a minimal smtp client.
I'm not exactly sure how this works 'under the hood', but I believe
there is a difference between sending from two different 'accounts'
and sending on someone's behalf (in which case you receive a message
from [email protected] on behalf of [email protected]). Perhaps
this is exactly what you are talking about.
The sender filed in mails is in general "random"
I could easily send you a mail from [email protected] (it's not a commercial
thing ;-)
However, eg. many (most, all?) freemail smtp servers will deny to send any
mail where the sender field does not match the account (it's by 99.99%
chance spam)
So in order to write funny things into that field you need a relaxed SMTP
server (which is accepted by the receivers ISP) or transport the messages
via IMAP directly to the receiver account.
Unrelated to that you can send from absolutely any account - given you
know the credentials.
So if the assistant shall write a message from HIS account on his bosses
behalf like "[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]", the
SMTP server must be ok with at least "first valid mail address matches
account" and not care about the second address in the sender field.
In case he would send via his bosses account with that sender, the server
must even be ok with "contains matching address"
No, I don't think that moving messages into other mailboxes is what I
mean. I am talking about saving the 'message file' into a folder on
the filesystem or into a document management system (DMS).
Atm you can save parts and the header on their own (rightclick the message
resp. the listview entry and say "save")
-> What you want is likely a FETCH <uid> RFC822 (all message parts and
headers in one text file with a certain format)
