Hello,
I added some aliases in my account config, but I cannot figure how to change the
sender address.
I can navigate to the from field and manually write another from address, but it
doesn't change the actual from address in the smtp session.
Regards

There are two behaviors regarding aliases that can be expected by
reading `man 5 aerc-accounts`:
1. Your mailserver accepts the `aliases` and, thus, it, not aerc,
handles them; or
2. You're replying to an email addressed to an address that matches an
fnmatch-style glob. In this case, aerc will fill the `From` header with
it.

Ok, but there is no way to select one or the other from address when composing a
message?

I don't think `aliases` is what you're looking for; take a look at `man
5 aerc-config` and `address-book-cmd`.

I don't think so; I believe that's on your `compose.address-book-cmd`.
