Is it possible to disable the ability to send emails from an email address?
I have two email addresses that I use: gmail and optonline. I want to be able to receive emails at both addresses but only send emails from the gmail address. If I attempt to send an email from the optonline address, I want TB to give me an error message. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to set up my 'server settings' so this happens?

You could probably prompt an error by changing the server name in Tools/Account Settings, Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the left pane. But if you want to see a warning every time you send, I think Identity Chooser is a better solution.

The Folder Account add-on lets you set the sending address to always be the gmail address, even if the selected folder is for the opto account. Right-click a folder, Properties, for the add-on's options.

I prefer to get an error message rather than the email actually being sent. Would you have a suggestion on how to change my server settings so that happens? What I'm thinking is putting incorrect information in the settings for sending emails but the correct information for receiving emails. I'm just not sure how to do that. Thanks for your help.
