GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 651221
"Edit as New Message" always uses default From: address
Last modified: 2013-09-13 01:05:40 UTC
Evo 2.32.2 / Fedora 14 & Evo 3.0.1 / Fedora 15 I have numerous IMAP accounts set up on Evo. If I go into the Sent folder on any account and do "Edit as New Message" on a previously sent message, the account that is used in the From: field is always the default account and not, as I would expect, the account that the Sent folder is in. This is only on the IMAP accounts - using the Sent folder under "On This Computer" exhibits the correct behaviour. Creating a New message while in the Sent folder also behaves correctly. It is only when resending a previously sent message using "Edit as New Message".
Same behavior here with Evo 2.32.2 on Ubuntu 11.04, using "Edit as New Message" in the non-default IMAP account's Sent folder.
Seems to work fine for me, with current git master (after 3.1.5 release). I do all the same as you.
Definitely still happening in Evo 3.2.2. I have a work IMAP+ account (which is the default account), and a gmail IMAP+ account for person stuff, and if I go into Sent mail for the gmail account, open a sent mail, and do Message -> "Edit as New Message" then it puts from the "From" address as the work IMAP+ account.
OK, confirming. I do not know how I was testing it earlier :-/
Created attachment 206428 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; This fixes it. It changes default account only if not called from a Templates folder. I guess it makes sense.
Created commit 3dc8b0b in evo master (3.3.5+)
Yay, thank you!
