This part is easy. Procmail seems to make this trivial.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where I&#8217;m running into a problem&#8230; From time to time I will need to send email using an account other than the main IMAP one.<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? The only way I&#8217;ve had to do this in the past is to use Eudora and set up an account with only the outgoing address and SMTP server set. I don&#8217;t believe you can do this under Mail.app nor Thunderbird.
