I recently reported on how Microsoft has been celebrating the forced roll-out of the new Outlook as a “migration success”. Now the company has confirmed it won’t let you use the Mail & Calendar apps.

    It works better for searching, it works offline, catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying, backup and archiving, can move mails from box to box without sending.

    I also use roundcube, but only to read mails. If I want to reply to a catch-all mail I have to create an alias which is super tedious.

      catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying

      What do you mean by this? I’d like to be able to reply from a [email protected] automatically.

      For me Thunderbird makes me create an alias in order to reply to my catch all (*@mydomain.com). Did you have to configure something specifically?

        This is built into Thunderbird for a while now.

        1. Go to Account Settings
        2. Enable Reply from this identity when delivery headers match
        3. Enter your domain prefixed by a wildcard (*), for example *@yourdomain.com
        4. Close/confirm all your changes
        5. Open an email that was sent to one of your catch-all addresses and click the reply button.
        6. The FROM field should be the catch-all address and not your general address.

        I click on my “From” address and then select “Customize From Address…”. I can then type anything I want up there. It’s a little annoying when replying to an email chain with an alias, but not too many steps.

          See my other reply, you can automate this with a setting so you don’t have to edit it manually every time.
