In other email interfaces (Thunderbird, Gmail) I can send messages from my account (user@email.com) but override the From: field with another name and address, for example another address I control on the same domain.

How can I do this in Evolution?

You can add aliases to your email account as follows:

• From the application menu select Edit > Accounts


• In the Evolution Accounts window, expand the account you want to modify to reveal the "Mail Accounts" node, and expand that to reveal the imapx+smtp node


• Edit that node


• Open the "Identity" tab (should be the first tab opened)


• Locate the "Aliases" box at the bottom of the right-hand pane


• Click "Add" to add a new alias

You can enter just an email address to use the same "Full Name":

user2@email.com

Or you can enter a new name and email address:

"User Two" <user2@email.com>

Either way, once you click OK and compose a new email, the new alias will appear in the dropdown list for the "From" field.
