Re: [Evolution] Idea: Multiple SMTP servers per account

[Pete Biggs <pete biggs org uk>]

You can already do this sort of thing using different accounts - I have 
various
accounts setup that don't receive mail - i.e. they don't have any 
"server type"
associated with them - but they do have different SMTP servers and
mail addresses.  All you need do is then change the "From:" address at the
top when you compose a message to send it via a different SMTP server.
