At least in the 2.2 series of Evolution (which is what I'm using),
my
suggestion is to create multiple accounts/configurations for each of

affected accounts -- e.g., one for work and one for home for each
address.  Use the same E-mail address on both, but only one of them
needs to be configured for incoming mail.  Set each to their
respective
outgoing settings (SMTP server, etc.).  Give each of them a good
descriptive name.  Then just pick one or the other at the top of
each
E-mail message depending on whether you're at home or at work.

This is the key.  The "pick one" means that in your Compose window,
the From line is actually a drop-down list, if you have multiple
mail accounts defined. 

Unfortunately you have to *remember* to pick it every time you send a
message from the non-default address. This is always tripping me up.

Well...
