I use both Evolution (on a Linux system) and TB (because I recently got
a new laptop so I'm using Vista until it pisses me off enough to go back
to Linux)

ANYWAY, both of them are easy to switch the service provider to send
your mail. When creating a new message both have a drop down in the
From: section that you can select any of the configured accounts. Maybe
I misunderstood what you meant.
