I also use the "enabled" checkbox to mean "This is an empty account,
which only consists of an email address which I use to send email from".
It's very useful in many ways -- you can select the address from the
dropdown menu in the compose window, to have different "personalities"
with a single email account.  Evolution automatically filters that
address out in a reply-to-all, and as a bonus, selects the appropriate
reply-to: and from: headers as well as the .sig for the particular
"personality" the email was sent to.

Please do not kill this extremely useful functionality..

FWIW, t-bird added the ability to have multiple personalities in a
single email account (i.e. different .signatures, reply-to: and from:
headers, etc...) to solve this exact problem, as t-bird didn't have any
way to specify a "disabled" account, like evo does.
