For those who don't know what a catch-all account is, it's an email account that accepts mail from [anyaddress]@givendomain.com if there isn't an existing mailbox specifically for that address.
Obviously, as it's just a standard mailbox, all mail clients 'support' such accounts. But what I'm looking for is one with intelligent support...
Example scenario:
I have an email account with the address [email protected], which is set up as a catch-all account, so all email for [anyaddress]@givendomain.com will be delivered to [email protected].
So, somebody sends an email to [email protected] and it is delivered to the mailbox [email protected]. My current Android client checks [email protected] mailbox, sees the mail and delivers it. All is fine so far.
However, if I wish to reply to the mail, my current Android mail client(s) will send the address from [email protected]. What I want is for the mail to be sent from the address that it was originally sent to (in this case, [email protected]).
I have Thunderbird set up on my PC, and use the extension "Virtual Identity", which does a very good job of achieving the same thing. But as I am spending less and less time at my desk these days, I'd really like to be able to mimic the behaviour on my Android devices.
