FEAT: Gmail dots-don't-matter and subaddressing #1200

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

In Gmail, dots don't matter. Subaddressing is also relatively widely known, and I assume used.
When adding a new email account, you have to supply a comma-separated list of addresses for which to fetch mail for. That is infeasible when there can be infinite addresses with these two things.

Describe the solution you'd like

I can see a couple of ways to approach it. Either you could support regex or globbing for fetch addresses. Advantages are that its easily extensible, and can apply to more than just Gmail. Disadvantages are that its a bit complex and still won't solve the problem without a default matcher that the user is informed about.

The other way would be to hard code these rules into the gmail provider. Not extensible, but simple.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

Alias sending support is also relatively important. I've personally experienced companies that wouldn't deal with me until I sent from the specific address used on my account, and didn't care for Google's internal rules for which addresses "are the same".
