Unfortunately when I reply to a mail, claws automatically fills in my primary e-mail address in the from-field, which is absolutely not desired. I always have to edit the from-field by hand to change it to the e-mail address originally used by the sender, i.e. the e-mail address saved in the former to-field.

So if I understand you correctly, lets say I have 400 different addresses. I would need to create 400 accounts and 400 folders? This is very inconvenient and is not really a solution. I just want claws mail to do the following:

newmail.header.from = oldmail.header.to

In case you wonder why the heck do I have 400 different addresses? I use a database-driven wildcard email server, so I can sign up to every website with a different e-mail address, which is very good, because I can find out spam sources easily and block them.
