[Bug 161074] thunderbird IMAP incorrect sender

[Soohyun]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

It's a long scenario. I have two email accounts, one uses IMAP (call this EMAIL1), and the other is Gmail.
These two have their own SMTP servers.
Let's follow the steps below,

1. I try to reply an email downloaded from one of the IMAP folders with Thunderbird.
2. In a new reply window, I set 'From' to 'EMAIL1' not the 'GMAIL'.
3. replied to the sender and copy to another (say soohyun at ubuntu.com).
4. The sender received the replied email from me. BUT the sender specified in the replied email is NOT the 'EMAIL1' but the 'GMAIL'.
5. Oh... the copied mail in soohyun at ubuntu.com... It says that the sender is 'GMAIL' NOT the 'EMAIL1' again.
6. The replied email is also saved in 'sent' of my IMAP folders. It says that the sender is 'EMAIL1' not the 'GMAIL'.

It looks like that Thunderbird replies the email with incorrect sender
information BUT saves the email in the IMAP folder with correct sender
information.
