Re: [Geary] Any plans to enable a *default* alias per account?

[Marvin W <gnome larma de>]

Hi,

More a hack than an intended feature, but you can change the default 
address by changing the folder name in ~/.local/share/geary while geary 
is closed (make sure it is actually closed by killing the process). It 
should not break anything, you might be required to enter your password 
again though.

Cheers,
Marvin
