Description Pablo Rodríguez 2010-05-31 21:15:17 UTC
[Sorry if this report isn't as accurate as it should be. Please, don't hesitate to ask if I don't explain myself clearly.]

I have configured evolution with some accounts. Some of them are standard email accounts in which I can both receive and send messages. But some other accounts are only forwarding addresses, that I configured only to send messages (using Sendmail).

The issue if I receive a message to the forwarding address, if I reply, I get the reply not from the forwarding address but from the real address. Since sending messages is enabled from the forwarding account, Replies should be sent from the forwarding address, since it has been configured to send messages through Sendmail.

Maybe an example would be simpler. Imagine I have a pr@users.sf.net forwarding address directed to pr@gmail.com. Those messages sent to @users.sf.net are forwarded to @gmail.com, so Evolution receives the message in the gmail.com account. But if the pr@users.sf.net account is configured only to send messages using Sendmail, the reply should be from @users.sf.net instead of @gmail.com. (I don't remember which one, but this was the functioning in previous versions.)

Would you be so kind to fix this?

Thanks,


Pablo

What version of Evolution are you using?
Comment 2 Pablo Rodríguez 2010-06-01 18:20:09 UTC
evolution-2.28.3.

This is the one that comes with Ubuntu 10.04. I have planned to switch to Fedora, but I need some free time to do it.
Comment 3 Pablo Rodríguez 2010-06-20 21:39:15 UTC
evolution-2.30.1 has the bug fixed (already switched to Fedora 13).

So, I'm closing the bug report.
