Server concerned only supplies pop.

Yes but this still involves regular reconfiguration of accounts.

I  am not trying to force mails to use a specific server, K mail does that 
quite well. What I need is that they show the correct from address and they 
always show the default one, they put the correct one in as a reply to 
address which most recipients either ignore or do not see at all.

I looked at Thunderbird and thought that it acted in the same way as KMail but 
chose KMail because the documentation was clearer so I may not be correct.
