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.

Then maybe stop forwarding all to one email account, but get your mail from all the different accounts you use.

Then your reply will go with the address it was sent to...
