What about:
- "hooks" functionality (automatically change config options (From, Reply-To, Signature, folder to which messages are saved, everything else...) when entering a certain folder or sending mail with a certain "From" address
This can be done by editing the account properties - you're not limited to one account.
OK. I also see that Alan said in another reply:
From/Reply-To/Signature/Headers are per account settings so you can do that.
Now, once I have defined an account, can claws-mail associate it automatically to a folder or to any address in the address book? So that, for example:
if I reply to a message or compose a new one while I am inside a list folder the client uses the "Mailing Lists" account
whenever I compose a message to "Daddy" claws-mail loads the "Family" account?
whenever some unknown person send me a message to my "work" address and I reply to him, claws-mail automatically loads the "work" account settings?
For now it's not possible to attach some editing preferences to a contact from address book (I personally workaround this by using compose/reply/fwd templates with calls to external scripts), but in each folder prefs, you can set the account to use there.
- macros
No macros meaning that you cannot macro-ify GUI interactions, but Claws Mail has user actions, filtering and processing rules as well as templates for editing.
Fine, but can these actions and rules be concatenated and associated to specific keys? Like "send all the selected messages to some-script.sh AND then delete them or move them to some folder" with one keystroke?
Not that way. Following you precise needs, that could be done w/ folder's processing rules, but I afraid this won't cover all your needs.
There's maybe a way to cheat anyway.. you can create an action that invokes a filtering rule w/ the selected messagtes. Set that filtering rule to do all what you need (call the script, delete or move), and make that rule associated to a specific dummy account that would not be used at incorporation or for composing.
