Re: [Evolution] Multiple Mail Accounts Question.

[Ron Smits <ron ronsmits com>]

Dunno about outlook (don't have windows) but mozilla does not handle
this. It by default will use the mail address associated with the
account on which the mail came in. Evo already wins here as it tries to
guess a bit what email address you want. 

Big difference here is that in mozilla you cannot have an empty account
as in evo.

This (in my opinion) would get out of hand a bit if evo did this too.
