            Bug ID: 3174
           Summary: Claws Mail confusing accounts - saving to wrong
                    accounts sent folder
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.9.3
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Folders/IMAP
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: yourockwoohoo at ditzydoo.de

This seems to happen under specific circumstances, when using multiple setups
of Claws Mail.

Steps to reproduce:
You'll need two e-mail accounts, Account1 and Account2, each one SMTP + IMAP

Set up two instances of Claws Mail, Client1 and Client2 on different machines,
as different local users, or just do:
$ mkdir /tmp/client1 && HOME=/tmp/client1 claws-mail &
$ mkdir /tmp/client2 && HOME=/tmp/client2 claws-mail &

Set up Client1 for use with Account1 only.
Set up Client2 for use with Account2 and Account1. (In this order!)

Now compose a new message using Client1. Save it as draft.
Switch to Client2 and open the drafts folder of Account1. Open the message.
Note, that the message now is configured to be sent using Account2 instead of
Account1.
This is weired enough and shouldn't happen, as the message did never belong to
Account2.
Change that by setting "From:" to Account1.
Now sent the message. It will be sent using the SMTP server of Account1,
but it will be saved in the sent folder of Account2.

As you see, Claws Mail is totally confusing different accounts in this case. I
think this is very weird behavior and shouldn't happen. Mail sent with Account1
should always be saved in the sent folder of Account1, unless configured
otherwise.
