279576 - Ability to set a default From sender for specific To recipients for new composing messages

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

What I've in mind here is the following:
I've a handfull identities each with different mail addresses. If I compose a
new message I've to be carefull to choose the correct identity to send the mail
from. Because I've everything stored in one IMAP account, it's not possible to
go with the account's default identity.

Now, it would be nice, to assign a default sender to my contacts or to a contact
group. An easy way would be to assign a identity to a group (e.g. Business) and
if I send a mail to a contact in my business group, the business identity is
chosen. Though it should be able to assign multiple groups to identities.

Another approach would be to assign recipients from the addressbook to
identites. Or to assign an identitiy to a contact.
