"Sender address does not belong to logged in user"

I use 3 Identities, have 7 fetch accounts and 3 send accounts.

2 of the send accounts are from gmx.de and work well. The third, which is from my webprovider does not work and results in the message: "Sender address does not belong to logged in user".
It however says additionaly that the Transport protocol used is : "GMX" ???

This does not make any sence.

Only if I led show 'Sendmailtype' ("Versandart") I can choose 'mail@xxxxxxxxpospiech.de' and then the mail is send.

How come that the Identity has no binding to the emailadress ? I did not find any way to set that.

BTW: Kmail 1.8.3

I found the setting:

Identity>Settings>extended>Special Sendtype

but how is it special to have for every Identity a differend mail adress for sending ??

RE: "Sender address does not belong to logged in user"

I don't know if I understand you question correctly, but maybe I can explain something.

For sending of email, you need a smtp-server. In most cases, only the smtp-server of the provider of your internet connection works: other smtp-server usually doesn't relay the email (there exists something like authenticated smtp, but I leave that out). The smtp-server only is responsible for sending email: the contents are not touched by the smtp-server (except Received-lines, of course).

The sender of an email is given in the email itself as an "Reply To:" or "From:" field. That field is used fom the "From:" field in the receivers email program.

The smtp-server you use and the sender of the email are independent: you can use the smtp-server of account A to send a email using the emailadress of account B*. So that is why those settings are kept in two places.

It is possible to enable a "special transport" to a identity such that a particular smtp-server is used when sending using a particulal identity (you already found that option, as it is the same as in your reply).

*: You can even use a name and email address which is not yours, but a reply isn't received then. However, it is important to know that the name in the From: field is not reliable.
