Sending as Different emails from the Same Sorted/Forwarded/Filtered Folder!

SORRY,,, THIS SEEMS LIKE SUCH A SIMPLE PROBLEM,, IT SHOULD NOT EXIST,, but,
IT HAS ME STUMPED!!!
WHAT AM I MISSING GUYS????

PROBLEM: I want to Receive/Sort/Filter, Move Incoming emails from Several Credit Card Companies (Each a Different Inbound Email address at the Same Domain, and put them in a Single Folder called CC's..

IE.. Example: These emails sorted/Moved to a Folder called CC's
Chase@example.com
PNC@Example.com

PROBLEM... When you click Reply When looking at ONE Email(Chase@) for example, it uses the FOLDERS Identity Settings,,, INSTEAD OF using the Email address that was used to Receive the Email (Chase@)..

I don't see a way to CREATE a New Email,,, AS,, Either of those emails either... Only what is in the Folder Identity Settings.
These Two Emails are Fowarders..
Say the Main Email Account is Example@Example.com.
Chase@ and PNC@ are Forwarded to the Example@Example.com email address.
Example@ is the Email of the Email Account and picks up the Emails via POP3/SMTP..
The Emails IN that account come into The Bat as Chase@ and PNC@, and go into the Example@ email address Folder.
They are Sorted with Office Filters into Sub Folders Under example..
EVERYTHING works perfectly,,, UNTIL YOU CLICK REPLY, FORWARD, etc..
INSTEAD OF Chase@ or PNC@ replying,,, the Emails go out Example@ because of the Folder Identity Settings..

There MUST be a way to do this... It is just too efficient to be able to do this for it NOT to be something that can be done..
All Emails from Every Credit Card Company dropping into the Same CC's Folder, and each email able to be replied to, and RETURN to the SAME eMail Address... Right now, I don't see how this can be done???

NOTE: Just so there is no misunderstanding...
I KNOW this can be done with a Folder for EACH Email address. The Reply From and Address to email address fields filled out with the Email address for THAT FOLDER... THIS is the Problem.. I have too many folders and I am trying to consolidate the emails that I do not get a lot from..
I have been using the SAME EMAIL ADDRESS for a little over 20 years,,, BUT, someone got a hold of it lately, and I am getting 200-400 emails in that account every 2-3 days. And, they are NOT easy to filter out.. It is actually impossible..

I am going to have to Convert over to a different email address, but, I need to do some Organizing BEFORE I do that..
This is the best Idea I have at this point.

Anyone??? There MUST be a way to do this!
WHEN you are Reading the Inbound email, in the CC's folder, and you RIGHT CLICK on the Chase@ or PNC@ email address,, there is an Option to "Send "TO" This email Address"... Sounds crazy to send an email to yourself..
IF it said,,, Send "FROM" This email address, I would not be typing this right now, and it would make a WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE!!

I must admit you got me confused there for a while... But I think I understand the gist of the problem / intention.

Is it correct to conclude that you could achieve the desired affect by doing "Reply All" and manually deleting the unwanted address(es) from the recipient list?

If so, it should be possible to automate the whole process through a Quick Template, but you would need to remember to call the template instead of doing a "Reply" (Using the "v" menu to the right of the Reply button, or a keyboard shortcut).

Zygmunt was very kind to write one for me for a related problem / intention: https://www.ritlabs.com/en/auth-forums/forum6/topic16190/
Yours could be a modified (and probably simplified) version of this.

I just realized the answer is NO. Still, a quick template could to the trick.

A possible alternative: if the e-mails are distinguishable by the sender, not just your recipient ...@example.com address, you could achieve the desired effect by using macros in Reply templates for those sender addresses in the Address Book. (Alas, address book contact properties don't allow specifying identities like folder properties, but it should be doable by macros in the templates.) If this can be made to work, you could just use "Reply" normally.

Mark Thomas, kindly stop SHOUTING in any future messages that you post here.

As for your problem: When you reply to a message, the message editor shows your From address in the headers (From/To/CC/Subject etc). When you click on the From address, there's a pull-down menu that lets you manually pick one of your other addresses. That's the most simple solution to your problem, but you have to remember to change the address manually.

For automated solutions, look into reply templates in the address book like Milos suggested, or create macros in the Outgoing Mail section of the Sorting Office of that account. Yet another solution would be to not sort all incoming credit card messages to the same folder, but give each one a subfolder of its own. You could then create a reply template for each subfolder that sets the desired From address.
