No, it uses the new account info.

I already told you to remove the X-Evolutionm-Transport headers but you
are not listening to me...

Okay, let me explain how this works:

- when you open a composer, it copies all the CURRENT account settings.
So even if you change the account settings AFTER the composer is already
open, it's too late for that message.

- Once you Send Later a message (ie, it goes to Outbox), the config info
is saved in the message headers (X-Evolution-Account and
X-Evolution-Transport). When evolution goes to send a message in Outbox,
it checks the X-Evolution-Transport header and uses it if it exists. If
not, then it gets the X-Evolution-Account header and searches for that
account's info and uses that.

Conclusion:

If you have queued mail in Outbox, you can change your settings all you
want but it will NEVER affect the messages already in the Outbox.

If you need to change those settings, edit ~/evolution/local/Outbox/mbox
and remove all of the X-Evolution-Transport headers. (note: make sure
evolution is not running when you do this).
