Yes, now it works. I did append an $ to the end of the folder names, like that:
folder-hook secondbox$ 'set from="secondbox@xxxxxxxx" realname="BlaBla"'
I didn't wrote the dollar sign for the default, period marked mailbox. Now
everything works fine. Thanks a lot for your help. One more thin, can you tell
me, why it is working, now that I have the dollar sign appended?
