Forwarded Mail Has Wrong "From" Account
Last modified: 2006-04-05 14:57:09 UTC
Please describe the problem: Forwarding always comes from primary account. It should be from account which actually received the mail. This is the way it currently works for Replies. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

This is not entirely correct. > It should be from account which actually received the mail. > This is the way it currently works for Replies. This, however, is correct. :) Confirming. More details: With 2 destinct stores, like for example different IMAP accounts, this "works". When forwarding, the correct From address of that account is used. However, in the case of multiple accounts sharing the same store, this fails and the behavior is different from replying. Just verifid this: My primary IMAP account gets mail for different mail accounts configured in Evo. When replying to one of the mails that actually are sent to an andress which is one of the secondary accounts, the From is set correct. When forwarding, the primary address of that store is used. (Hope, I didn't confuse anyone... ;) Looks like Forwarding does not evaluate the To: header to determine the From account. This should be the very same logic as when Replying.
Seems to be filed already, but I'm seeing this too. Marking this a duplicate, and reopening the other bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 317337 ***
