I don't actually 'see' it connecting, but the headers on the mails and
the logs in the servers show that the mails are going via their correct
routes.

Yes, there is only one smtp bar because there is only one outbox - but
the mails in the outbox 'know' where they are supposed to be going and
it works. (The 'Server:xxx' bit in the popup box is lying!) Try putting
evo into offline mode and then send emails with the different from
addresses, you should now have two emails in your outbox - look at the
source of those emails and there should be a header 'X-Evolution-
Transport' - that is what determines how evo sends them and should be
different for the two emails.  The header is removed when the mail is
sent.
