Account used when sending mails composed and saved: bad!

Feature request

I had already requested that the sender accounts of mails that get forwarded or resent be automatically set, not back to the default mail account, but to the accounts that are relevant to those mails.

I now came across a flaw that’s even worse in my view: if you start composing a mail, set the sender’s account, save the draft then re-open to keep on editing it before sending, you find out that the sender has also been reset to the default. Which, if you’re unlucky, could lead to misunderstandings even worse than in the two other cases…

Do I understand your scenario correctly?
You start composing a mail, user sender@email1 as senders address, save is as draft, reopen it and find the senders address replaced by your standard mail account e.g. standard@email2?

What’s your environment? Does NOT happen here: macOS 15.4, emCLient 10.3.1524

FWIW, your other problem (substituting mail address when resending or forwarding) does NOT happen here either.

Thanks for the information. Yes, you’ve understood things correctly. I can only guess that it’s an issue related to my v.10.1.4828 (whereas a relation to OS 12.7.6 is doubtful, in spite of all its quirks.) I guess, as discussed here, that I’ll have to wait until there’s a stable and approved update available.

Hmmm. Yes, I understand being hesitant to upgrade.
However, as an example, for my situation it’s almost a no-brainer:

  • I have no local folders, so I would not lose anything local
  • I have 2 exchange accounts, so worst case emClient would have to rebuild the database (been there, done that, ca. 2 hours)
  • my prefs are saved in a local folder (are yours not?)

Anyway, good luck!

Fact is, I’ve got other things to take care of. It took me over a week to convert my 20+ years database, first to that piece of š… called Thunderbird using an external (paying) tool, then moving the result to eMC and adjusting it in the course of a few more weeks. This had been preceded by a couple of months of research ending up in going for Outlook — until I found out that from my version all mails take a tour to M$’s servers, where they can be “read” by samesaid M$ (just as Google can “read” your gmails when they please.) All this because the mail provider was threatening of ending support for POP3!

OMG. Hope you have backups. And as I said: Good luck!
