Sometime in the last couple of months (sorry for the vagueness), Claws auto account selection on compose broke. I've just tested the current git version with a virginal config file, and the problem still exists. It always defaults to the first (of two, in my case) account listed.

I just raised that question on the list recently.

Compose now also uses the account selected in the lower right corner of the Claws window.

You can configure a default compose account per folder though by right-clicking a folder, selecting "Properties..." for the context menu, switch to tab "Compose" and then select a default account in there.

I'm confused. What's the purpose of Configuration > Preferences... > Compose > Writing > Automatic Account Selection then?

I preferred the way it worked before :(
