I don´t lock the "from_addr" in horde/config/prefs.php and also in  
horde/imp/config/prefs.php: If I understand it right, this entrys are  
for the option settings and if I locked this, nobody can edit the  
"from_addr" field, right?

I knew that if I add more than one identity I can choose in compose  
message window the identity but I´am wondering what can I do with the  
fields "alias" and "tie to" in IMP options? What can I do with this  
entrys? I think it could a useful thing, if I can choose in compose  
new message window in one and the same identity a different alias as a  
sender, isn´t it?

Greetings,
Michael
