But do they default for a folder, or even based on recipient?

Kmail does this nicely, I use it with several identities and I never
have to stop to think who I am sending an email as. Whenever I do think
to check it is always using the right one - it feels almost uncanny in a
"do what I mean" kind of way.

I use Kmail at work and Thunderbird at home, Thunderbird is better at
pretty much everything I do emailwise except the identity management.
Evolution is getting there, and has some nice ideas, but it doesn't do
PGP inline which is a show stopper for me - YMMV, and I've hit problems
with limited IMAP4 support, but if you don't need GNUPG (with Outlook
using recipients) and IMAP4, Evolution is worth looking at.

Silly really - maybe I should hack the identity support I want into
Thunderbird - maybe someone has already? Hmm Thunderbird only has 23
extensions at the main site....  I figure you either want to pick it
based on the email address it was sent to, or by folder, or by account....
