Send as différent alias in webmail

[Swiiney]

I am using my own domain and each user uses multiple aliases. Something like the thunderbirds desktop application identités features.
One mailbox receive mails for its associated email and multiple forwarded to it.
In the webmail the user is not able to reply using the aliases, he can only send using the mailbox email.

As an exemple :
The mailbox : Mailbox@domain.com
Aliases delivered to the mailbox : alias1@domain.com, alias2@domain.com
I can send from mailbox@domain.com. I would like to be able to send from alias1@domain.com, alias2@domain.com

One alias could delivers mails to multiple mailbox and each mailbox should be able to send from the alias.

Would it be possible to add this kind of capabilities ?

Thanks

I think my proposition could be consider as duplicated of this unanswear question : https://github.com/orgs/forwardemail/discussions/360

There is also an issue in mail.forwardemail.net repositorie : forwardemail/mail.forwardemail.net#44
No answers on this one either.

I think this is mostly the missing function to have gmail user moving to your service in January when aliases are going to disapear on there side.

Thanks to answer at least you are considering the proposal or a no go.

Hey there, we've added a dropdown in the compose editor so you can change the From based on active / logged in aliases. We're releasing all apps now under a v1 and then we're working towards IMAP / SMTP provider agnostic support and this would allow us to handle catch-all aliases (which on forward email side is SMTP only at the moment).

Hi, thanks for the news and work.

I tried this feature and seems it's not working as I expected.
Here is my try :

1. While connected to the webmail with an account with IMAP/SMTP active I went to compose.
2. Then I opened the From dropdown and click on add another account.
3. I entered the email and password of a =n aliases without IMAP active.
4. I got an error :

Alias does not have IMAP enabled, go to https://forwardemail.net/my-account/domains/bonnell.fr/aliases and click "Edit" to enable IMAP storage

I would like to be able to send an email using the address from another alias only (no imap storage).
I don't want multiple mailboxes but one with multiple aliases.
Currently I can receive all my aliases inside one mailbox (postmaster, steph, and others are all forwarded to stephane which has imap active) but not send.

Would it be possible ?
