Ah, no. If you disable an account and use it to send mail, it _will_ still try (I got bounce messages just now). I still contend that it shouldn't let you try to send mail as a disabled account, however. I agree with your opinion in comment 1 There's been some recent debate about this upstream; some people were arguing there that disabling should only apply to receiving IIRC. The "Working with Mail Accounts" section of the help has the text "Evolution allows you to maintain multiple accounts, or identities. When you are writing an e-mail message, you can which account to use by selecting from the drop-down list next to the From field in the message composer. Click Send/Receive to select all mail sources that are not disabled. If you don't want to check mail for a given account, select the account in the Mail Accounts tab and click the Disable button." this suggests that the current behaviour is as designed (although I agree that it's unintuitive) Reproduced on i386 (vmware) with evolution-2.0.2-22 Evolution 2.0.2 is only being updated for security issues. Closing as WONTFIX. |
