Kmail reply

dotancohen · 10-26-2006, 05:21 PM

I recieve email to several POP3 accounts and retrieve them all with Kmail. How can I set Kmail so that when I reply to a meesage, the From address will automatically be the address to which the letter was addressed?

Thanks in advance.

Setup filters for each email address so that they go into a separate folder for each then in the properties for the folder set the sender identity for each email address that goes into it. Now when you reply to the mails each will have the right address in the from now if your default smtp server does not allow other address/you don't want to send the mail through it then you can hold the click on the send button and it will offer you a choice of which server to use for sending.

Problem with that approach is that I have to enter each account in manually. I have literally hundreds of different accounts, as I use disposable email addresses for all my contacts (like dotan_3913@domain.com - the number is different for each and every contact of mine).

Thunderbird has the Virtual Identity extension that sets the From address in replies as the To address in the original message. Is this not possible in Kmail?

Don't think it does or at least I have not found that option.
