If the popup is not shown then how can you edit the From address?

In any case, the addresses available in the “From” popup are the 
ones you explicitly list in the “Email Address(es)” field in the 
IMAP account editor. That might help you?

No, but that's a change which has been on my todo for a long time. I 
don't think it works well that it's in the status bar.
