Description matmoser 2006-09-16 12:38:06 UTC 
It would be great, if one could link certain contacts to certain mail accounts. So if you compose a mail for someone from your addressbook, Evolution could automatically choose the right mail account to send it from (and not the default account).

this sounds pretty much like a duplicate of bug 200601 to me, what do you think?
Comment 2 matmoser 2006-09-18 13:04:33 UTC 
well, in a way. but 200601 describes the problem of associating an account (identity) with a certain addressbook

in this case it's somehow the other way around - you want to associate a certain contact to an identity


e.g.: if I click the "To:" button and choose "Andre Klapper", evolution shall automatically pick the identity "mathiasmoser@aon.at" in the Compose-Dialog and not the one that is marked >default< in the preferences menu.

Hope I could make myself clear?

I added related functionality within a fix for bug #215115, thus I mark this as
a duplicate of it. The advantage over "set account on the contact" is that the recipient matching will work even when you do not compose a message with a contact from an addressbook.
