Evo 3.18.4, POP accounts

Push the "New" button. It doesn't matter what folder is selected, if all
available folders have "None" "Send Account override", because there's
no individual folder for e.g. the Evo mailing list.

IOW the new message is opened with the default account, that is not
equal to the composer preferences "Send account overrides" for the Evo
mailing list.

If I type evolution-list@gnome.org into the "To" box, the new mail stays
with the default account, it does not switch to the account selected by
composer preferences "Send account overrides" for this mailing list.

I don't claim that this is a bug, I just want to inform, that it could
be an issue for this kind of usage.

It happens sometimes, if I want to reply.

Now, as wanted, the "From" account mentioned by composer preferences
"Send account overrides" is selected, the folder, in this case the
Inbox, has got "None" "Send Account override".
