Well, the folder-hook doesn't act upon the protocol, but on the "name" of the folder - so you are free to use whatever you like, as long as you can build the regex for matching that folder. > > Depending on the folder I'm in the correct from address is set with "set > > from=…" > > As each IMAP account use different SMTP-Servers these are set via some > > send-hooks that depend on the from: address.
