[imp] Automatically change identity based on IMAP folder?

[Eugene Kerner]

I dont know the answer but I do know that what youre trying to do should 
have been standard mail client behavior years ago.

So often you have a small online business that must provide emails for 
admin, support, feedback, sales and so on.
Usually in those cases you catch them all in say the admin account and reply 
from there, but it breaks integrity coz the reply comes from a different 
respondent.

My 2 bobs worth.
