158506 - [RFE] Way to edit From: address

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87987

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Aidas Kasparas]

Qmail mail server has one excelent feature: all mail to address 
[e-mail] are delivered to [e-mail] (if not configured
otherwise) or to different folders in user's mail directory. So, by giving
mailing lists, online registrations my email with different suffixes I am able
to sort my mail.

Unfortunately mozilla allows just one "From:" address per account. So, to
utilize this qmail's feature I have either to setup dummy account or edit
account every time I need some different suffix.

What I would like to get is:
1) Extra entry in From: dropdown box "Other email". When one selects it dropdown
box becomes editable textbox with default folder's/account's e-mail in it.
2) IMAP folder option "From: address" which is used if I start message composer
from this folder.

#1 is for "one time" replays [return of site registration confirmation where I
gave them [e-mail] address, to hopefully track who sold my e-mail
address]

#2 is for mailing lists.
