Show alias as sender, or at least next to it
When replying to an email sent to alias, the "from" field is populated with the main email, not with the alias.
As per my tests, the alias is ultimately used as sender, but this should also be shown on the user interface when sending the email. It's confusing and error prone otherwise.
If not directly in "from", show it somewhere next to it.

Same goes for responding to a particular email. I want my personal accounts to use one email, but when I respond, it defaults to my generic email confusing everyone. I'd rather have the send-from email field be blank than have it send from one I do not want to use, because I have to remember to check/change the field. It doesn't seem like it would be e that difficult to set an email for each contact, but I am not a programmer.

Hey Proton, any estimates of when you can add this? This should be part of your aliases out of the box, as currently there's no way to be sure whether the email was sent from the alias or not, which totally defeats the purpose of privacy the aliases are used for.
Additionally to the problem replying, when sending a first email, one has to first add the receiver as "contact" under the alias and then cross fingers that this 1) was processed correctly and 2) one did not any mistakes like a typo or adding it to the wrong alias, when sending the email with the main address as sender. And one also doesn't get to know whether it worked, unless adding oneself as bcc. Seriously?
Is there anyone there thinking about user experience, or making features minimally viable..?

This is something that really bothers me a lot. Seeing the appropriate alias in the from field would assure me that I haven't somehow boogered it, and revealed my private core email!
