XFMail has the same ability to attach a specific "From" address to a folder
also and it's a really nice feature.  My home address is a pobox.com address
which gives me three aliases, all forwarded to one account, so I like to
split up mail based on which address it was "to" and then be able to send
out mail as the right address based on what folder I'm in when I send it. 
VERY nice and VERY convenient - let's me easily use one address for personal
use and one address for "business".  I'd love to see that feature in
Evolution also.   (as soon as I figure out an easy way to move all my mail
folders from xfmail over to evolution, I'm planning on switching)
