Allow choosing alias addresses in From:-Field when composing or replying to an email
By using an proton alias-email address like "username+alias@protonmail.com" in contact forms, you will receive emails to this alias address in response. However, it is not possible to answer in return using that alias address, i.e., you cannot set in "From:" or "ReplyTo:" fields an alias address.
That is confusing because the From:-email-address is forced to change during a single email communication.
Moreover, in general, it would be good to allow a freely chosen "ReplyTo" or "From" email address, including email-aliases.
Thanks!

This is the most needed feature for me. Without that a paid subscription doesn't make sense for me.

Please allow emailing from any - possibly confirmed - email address in the from field, without revealing the proton.me address. Allowing people to set the from field freely would be helpful for using email addresses from email forwarding services, such as iki.fi or linux.com.

I would love to see this feature as well. I receive many pass-through emails on my own domain. It looks unprofessional and weird to have an unrelated email address appear in the From field when replying to emails. In some cases, websites require an email to come from a particular email, which kind of messes up my entire email system.

Guys, please put some priority on this item. Having aliases is a great feature, but limiting the use of them to the way we have right now, makes it almost impossible to be used in a regular basis, or from a mobile device, which is the device mostly used when communicating with others.
Really appreciate a quick action here.
Thanks

Wow... six years and still nothing? This would be really easy to implement (relatively speaking). I would very much like to the ability to send email from an alias. It is frustrating and limiting when I need to email a company and I cannot email them from the email address they have on file. This has caused problems for me and requires stupid work-arounds. Thank you

It should be possible to choose any From e-mail address, not only for replies (Protonmail should use the incoming mail's recipient address automatically as from-address in replies), but also for sending mails.
Sending should be possible not only from + address extensions, but for custom domains it should be possible from any address, as Protonmail allows us to create a catch-all address.

I found out a workaround:
from your main account send a message to the + alias you want, for example
From: main@protonmail.com
To: main+alias@protonmail.comWhen that message arrives, hit reply (or reply all), change the To, CC, and BCC fields, change subject and message.

This is the only thing stopping me from moving and paying for ProtonMail, I don't want to reply with my new, fresh and secure protonmail email address to everyone. I have certain email that I want to reply with that email address and not give them my protonmail email address.

Yes this makes sense.
I was a bit dissappointed to see the implmentation was done this way (as for the use of "+" which is too frequently blocked on forms).
Yahoo is an example implementation of what I think we are after.

it kinda defeats the purpose of having the +alias if you are not able to use it to reply where you used it, example, you want to reply on a customer request ticket on a website you subscribed, their automated system might not recognized your non +alias email if you try to reply within your inbox.

it would be nice to use the +alias in replying to email.. this feature is already implemented at google mail.
