Make it possible to set the e-mail sender "from" address #106

The from address should be configurable, as some e-mail servers (Office 365) will not allow sending mail from all existing accounts.

Ok, I can work around this by

  1. turning off e-mail sending
  2. creating a user for the account that can send mail
  3. make that account an admin
  4. log in using this account
  5. change the e-mail settings

However, if someone else updates these settings later (due to a change in smpt-address perhaps), it will break again and no-one will understand why. So, preferably the from address should show up in the GUI. The logged in user is a good default, but it should be visible and changeable.

I agree.
