[MlMt] mailmate randomly changes the sender address

[Tom]

Hi David,
I'm pasting my original message below, to keep the thread organized.

I am not meddling with address patterns and the Regex feature.
It just changes the addresses without asking.

I actually don't see how this could be useful.
I want to be the only one to choose what address a mail should be sent from.

Even if some day I decide to use the "personal" address to write to a person who
I've alway contacted using the "work" address, I should be free to do so.
No automatic address switching.

Is there any way to disable it?

Thank you for your feedback,
Tom

I have avoided having to change my sending identity hundreds, maybe thousands of times, because of this.  It has also saved me from sending from the wrong address many, many times.  I wonder in what way it is producing the wrong results?

Original message:

Hi, I'm a new user.
So far everything is great except for a no-go problem: Mailmate randomly changes the sender address of my messages.

I've set it up with 4 mail boxes:
- yahoo
- gmail
- personal IMAP account (domain A)
- personal IMAP account (domain B)

Quite often, when I send a message using one specific address in the "FROM" field (and now I triple check every time), Mailmate decides to change it with another one and sends the message with from the wrong mailbox.
I've already verified that this is not a local problem (e.g. mixed labels in the GUI): these "swaps" appear on the remote IMAP directories as well.

Is it some sort of hidden option I haven't noticed? Am I doing something wrong?
Can it be fixed?

Thank you for your help.
All the best,
Tom
