Hi, correct, you should place them into the 'new' directory instead. I'd suggest you to create one "template", aka a message with predefined values and structure you'd like to use, then set Evolution offline or switch it to send messages through Outbox and then "send" the message, after which you'll save the "template" message from the Outbox folder to an .mbox file and delete it from the Outbox. You can then edit the parts as needed, just make sure the Message-ID contains a "world-wide unique value". One of my latest sent messages shows this: Message-ID: <607fed8d4a3bc47fd5d4583cd317ef81e5859306.ca...@redhat.com> I would keep it as a template ID and add a sequence number before the first dot in it, like to use: Message-ID: <607fed8d4a3bc47fd5d4583cd317ef81e5859306.1.ca...@redhat.com> for the first message, then Message-ID: <607fed8d4a3bc47fd5d4583cd317ef81e5859306.2.ca...@redhat.com> for the second and so on. There are servers sensitive on the Message-ID (notably Google), which is the reason why the ID should be "world-wide unique" (or "globally unique"). (The 'redhat.com' is derived from my (sender's) address, not from the server address - there was a bug request to do that). All the other values are local to the message (like the boundaries, which you do not need to change). One would suggest to not use Outbox but Drafts instead, but saving to Drafts contains a lot of Evolution-specific HTML code, which you surely do not want to share with the recipients. Sending through Outbox will clean up the message significantly. > I'm aware that I can create a mail composer window via > evolution "mailto:f...@example.com?subject=ABC&body=Hi" > but is there a way to define the sender account being used? > Currently it seems to always set my default mail account. Right, it uses the default account. The code knows only a few parameters of the mailto: and there is no way to change the From account there [1].
