Re: [Evolution] Gmail IMAP

[Pete Biggs <pete biggs org uk>]

I replied to a similar request the other day - basically you can set up
various accounts that don't receive mail (i.e. "Server Type" is "none")
- then when you are composing the mail you can change the From: address
at the top of the message to the email address you want.
