Related: #1200

I use a catch-all inbox with my own domain. Any email sent to *@domain.tld lands in my inbox, and I can send from any address. In Thunderbird I can just double-click the from field and change it, and as long as it is on my domain it goes through.

I also self host an email inbox where I have multiple domain names. I have one domain name that is a catch-all, and then another one where I only have some addresses from (*@domain.tld, abc@alias.tld, def@alias.tld). On this mailbox in Thunderbird, I can likewise just change my From field and send from any domain.tld address, or any alias.tld that is allocated to me.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love if you could support arbitrary sending and receiving. Fetch any mail in the inbox, and send from any address (I assume the SMTP server just rejects if I try to send from something invalid).

A couple of quality-of-life things:

  • Being able to set a "canonical" address for an inbox that's then used by default when composing
  • Prefilling the From field when replying with the address that the email was sent to

I don't know the best way to support all these things, but some kind of globbing/regex on fetch addresses might work for the receiving part at least.
