Matched identities are used to select the correct (matched) identity when replying to a message.

Identities are as expected matched by account. For incoming messages the to, cc, bcc, from and (X-)delivered/envelope/original-to addresses will be checked (in this order) and for outgoing messages (drafts, outbox and sent) only the from addresses will be checked. Equal addresses have precedence over partially matching addresses, except for delivered-to addresses.

The matched address will be shown as via in the addresses section of received messages (between the message header and message text).

Note that identities need to be enabled to be able to be matched and that identities of other accounts will not be considered.
