Associate identities with additional email addresses

[tzehetner]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for duplicate or closed feature requests
• I have searched for plugins that provide already provide the feature

Proposal

Use case:

My mailbox has two aliases:

john.doe@my-company.com
office@my-company.com

I want my identity for john.doe@my-company.com to be automatically selected when I reply to an email sent to office@my-company.com.

My old email server (Zimbra) allowed me to specify additional email addresses for which an identity should be used.

Motivation and context

Whenever I need to reply to an email sent to my office address, I have to manually select the john.doe@my-company.com identity. This is easy to forget, in which case I would accidentally reply to a business request with my non-business personal email address.

I also don't want to create an extra identity for office@my-company.com.

Thank you for that suggestion, it's a good one!

This could be done in a plugin I guess. Do you maybe even have the motivation and skills to build it yourself?

[tzehetner]

@pabzm I have the skill, but probably not the time. Would be great if someone else could implement it. If no one can be found to do it, I might implement it sometime in the future if I can squeeze out some time for it.

@tzehetner Thank you for the feedback! I'll leave this open for anyone (you, us, someone else) to do at some point. (I do like the suggestion, but us maintainers are lacking time for feature development, too, unfortunately.)
