      Hi everybody,

        I have just switched over from KDE to GNOME, and I plan on replacing 
KMail with Evolution. I have a problem with the latter though.

        I have two accounts, called Home and Work. Each account has its own 
identity, POP and SMTP servers, etc. The default account is Work. Receiving 
mail works fine with both accounts; however, when I want to send an email 
from Home, Evolution tries to send it via the Work SMTP server, times out and 
I have to change the default manually to be able to send it.

        I want to be able to select a given identity when I write a message 
and that Evolution would send it via the server of that identity. As it is, 
even each identity has the correct info, only the default SMTP is ever used. 
KMail does this without problems, so I'm sure I'm missing something simple. 
Any ideas?

        Thanks in advance,

GK,

The From: box in Evolution should be selectable. You should be able to
choose the account you want to use. I'm no evolution expert, but I
believe it sends based on that selection. 

Slightly different situation for me. I have two accounts, one pop3 and
one imap. If I send mail from both accounts at the same time, the pop up
box only shows it sending to one SMTP server, but I believe I previously
proved that it actually used both configured SMTP servers.

HTH.
