Hi all,
over the weekend I was searching for a good e-mail client which gives
you the opportunity to change the "from" address.
So I would like to change "me@domain" to "it@here" or
"accounting@somewhere" before I send a mail.
I wasn't successful to find this option using the Android standard
client, as well as K-9 which is open source.
Do you know a MUA that has this feature?
Thanks
Peter

You want to run this from android? Or a GUI, or a tty?
Waaaay back in 2004ish, Sylpheed Claws could do this on a per-folder
basis, with a dinky little GUI to construct the state machine.
If you set $alternatives, mutt is smart enough to recognize an email
to one of your identities, and to make the From in replies that
identity (v. useful for subaddressing). I guess you could use hooks
to e.g. mail mail to luv default to petros+luv(a)example.net instead of
petros@.
And I'd be utterly amazed if Gnus can't do that and more.
PS: also note that smtp.gmail.com will de-spoof your From... I think.
I haven't checked that for many years.

Further, it's apparently feasible to install Debian or Ubuntu (possibly other
distributions as well) alongside Android on the same device, provided of
course that you have enough free flash storage.

Well, people say "alongside"; IME mostly what they mean is "in a
chroot", which IMO is a cop out. (I'm running Ubuntu natively on a
tegra2 right now, but it was a prick to set it up, and I'm still
running the vendor's android kernel. Maybe that's just the usual
amount of ARM grief, though, and orthogonal to it shipping with
android.)

Are you sure K-9 doesn't do what you want?
Been a while since I looked at K-9, however I think if anything will do
what you want it will be K-9.
Of course, may have misunderstood what you want to do.

May not be what you're looking for but I've got a central gmail account
that I have all my other accounts linked to (a few ways to do this) and
then all the separate send as addresses to send or reply with. If I receive
mail from one domain the default send as will that that of the domain it
was sent to. Pretty straight forward stuff.
Then when I moved to android it was as simple as downloading the Gmail app
and logging in with my gmail credentials and all the settings came across
to my device.. No further setup was needed as it acts the same as the
webmail and I can choose the send as address if I want to.

I use gmail on android, all you have to do is go to gmail on a PC and
register all the email addresses you want to use then when in android
while composing an email press on the sender name at the top and it
will drop down a list of From addresses
Here is a screenshot of it

Regardless of the server you use you can expect Android to be significantly

As an aside, does anyone know of a good way of removing Android malware? A
relative installed something on their tablet which keeps giving spam
notifications.

That would be some feat, since the KGB became the FSB and SVR in 91.
There are four classes of intelligence agency:
- foreign intelligence (e.g. ASIS, SIS, CIA, SVR, Mossad)
- domestic intelligence (e.g. ASIO, MI5, FBI, FSB, Shin Bet)
- military intelligence (e.g. DIO, DIS, DIA, GRU, MID)
- signals intelligene (e.g. DSD, GHCQ, NSA, Spetsviaz, 8200)
In theory, we don't need to worry about military intelligence, other
nations' domestic intelligence, or our foreign intelligence.

yes, because living in a panopticon makes for such cheerful, happy and
unstressed citizen-units.

Do you know a MUA that has this feature?
mutt.
Add 'set edit_headers' to your ~/.muttrc and you can add, delete, and
edit any and all headers before you send (including deleting In-Reply-To
headers if you lazily start a new thread on a list by replying to an old
one but don't want to bugger up threading).
you can also set folder-hooks and similar rules so that e.g. mail sent
while you're reading a particular folder has a specific From address by
default. or mail sent TO a particular address always has a specific From
address.
If you like GUI mail clients, Thunderbird aka Icedove has decent support
for multiple accounts and addresses.
thunderbird also has a great plugin called ExternalEditor which lets
you use gvim as your editor. this is great because mail clients that
don't/can't use vi aren't worth using.

sorry, ignore that. i didn't notice the Android requirement hidden in

OTOH ssh and mutt would work.
