[Jim Patterson <861064@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Upon upgrade to Oneiric, my local folders were migrated to a new 'mbox'
account. Unlike local folders, the mbox account has send and receive
settings. Those settings, after migration, are not however set to
anything useful. My username is 'jim', so the Email was set to
'jim@localhost'. No one on another system can reach me using that
e-mail.

In my case, it's not simply that people might receive e-mails with a
seemingly nonsensical from address; my service provider will actually
block messages because the from address is not registered with it (an
anti-spam measure).

I would recommend instead that this account clone the settings from
whatever account was set up as 'Default', or that it simply defer to the
Default account when mail is sent while accessing that folder as
Evolution did with the local folders account.

This bug is exacerbated by bug#861060, which prevents me from actually
changing the default settings.
