Choose or create alias when composing or replying to an email
Hi everyone, this one is under consideration, pending anti-spam measures we might need to take.

Vitally important for proper use of the hide-my-email aliases. It is impossible to tell at a glance which email account will be seen by the receiving party. Even after it has been sent the email still shows the main account behind the hide-my-email alias. The level of confusion this creates is frankly counterproductive to the entire concept of privacy which is the entire reason to be using this method of obfuscation. PLEASE make this a priority!!!

this is a must have and also NEEDS to support different signatures and all the fancy encryption as well! i use multiple aliases/names online, and want to set signatures as well for each name/alias. SimpleLogin's features being integrated more closely into ProtonMail would be awesome, that or redesign the backend of Proton managed domains to be moved to SimpleLogin entirely, and have the cap on domain emails removed, and allow all the usual things like encryption key signing, signatures, etc. right now the feature disparity is pretty vast and a little confusing and definitely convoluted. please integrate email aliases more closely both from SL subdomain registrations and SL domains themselves, as well as personal domains we register
also please add a toggle for each SL subdomain and/or personal domain whether or not it appears in the "from" section, so you can set one or two domains as your send from aliases, and have the rest of them as just for reverse alias use, for example, i'd have my personal domains be included in the from section, and i'd have my subdomains be excluded as i set those up with a catch all so i can just have mail sent and call it a day, no need to really reply to any of those

In addition to this, it blows my mind that I use a simplelogin address attached to my email address for a calendar invite or something similar, but I cannot add it to my Proton calendar because I cannot use any of my SL generated addresses to create a calendar. For example, I used a calendly link to request a meeting with someone, and used a new SL generated address, well, now I cannot addd it to my Proton Calendar becausse "Your email address is not in the original participants list.". This is a huge problem.

We understand that this is under evaluation. What we need (speaking for myself) is better integration between the email service and the feature.
Sending a new email to a contact, instead of a reply, is really a "pain," and I think it can even be confusing for some users.
We know that this requires a lot of assessments, but this feature is very important for saving us time.
One point you cannot overlook is when the user has many aliases. There needs to be a way to organize everything in Proton Mail; otherwise, it becomes a mess.

Why has nothing been done on this yet? For my clients, it's WAY too confusing to explain why they send something to @remax.net and when I reply, it comes from @protonmail.com. Very uinprofessional!

It's been almost a full year since you replied. 1 year "considering" is quite a long time, don't you think?

Hello, I just wish to say that I eagerly await implementation of this feature.

This has been in review for 7 or 8 months. I am still eagerly waiting for this to make the aliases practical to use.

To be able for none technical users to fully use hide my email aliases with their proton mail this is a must have.
Here's the feature I'm expecting for a seamless integration of hide my email in proton mail:
- when creating an email, in the from list i can see my current proton emails and all my hide my email aliases
- if i select a hide my email alias, when entering an email address in the to, cc, or bcc:
- if the email entered is already a reverse email for a contact associated to the hide my email alias keep email as is
- if the email entered is not a reverse email:
- if a contact already exists on the hide my email alias with this email replace the email with the existing reverse email
- if no contact exists then automatically create a new contact and replace the email with the new reverse email (maybe with an optional confirmation popup so that users validate the email before creating an new contact)This will allow users to have an seamless experience were they can both use exiting reverse emails or create new one on the fly without having to first go create a contact and then copy/paste the reverse email. It will also allow to store in our proton mail contacts the contact's real email and not the reverse email created for this contact on the hide my email alias.

It would be great to be able to automatically bcc an address when sending from an address.
For example, in our family, we have (ProtonPass/SimpleLogin) aliases that go to me and my spouse.
[eg] bothofus@example.com --> me@proton and spouse@proton
When I send FROM one of those addresses, I always try to bcc my spouse so she sees the whole conversations, but, of course, sometimes I forget. This request is to be able to set up automatic bcc'ing when sending from bothofus@example.com. It would be extra awesome to automatically bcc all the other recipients of the ProtonPass alias.

This is my single biggest gripe with this whole system. I have carefully managed to hide my proton mail until now, but I had to initiate contact with a company for support last week, I slipped up this once, and we're back to square one, more or less.
Please add this feature and add an option to require me to explicitly select a "From" address when composing so I can't make this mistake again. -

I need to close an on-line account which can only be done via email (don`t know why). However I cannot send a message from the alias I use for that account so... I`m stuck.
Without this functionality it makes aliases much less useful. I`d like to request we move this up the To Do list.
Thanks for a great service. I appreciate the work you guys put in to preserve privacy for those that need it (i.e. everybody)

Also keen for this, just been googling how to send an email but hide myself behind the alias I created for that company. seems like really useful functionality.

This would be really great if you can make it happen.
Slight hijack, but can you add the <alias> name into the compose window (like next to the proton email) so that we know we are using an alias and its obvious. I have a near heart attack every time I'm about to press send.

This would be really great for those places on the internet where you definitely need a hide-my-email-alias like internet forums, groups like groups.io or google groups, mailing lists, social media,youtube, etc. I do not want to use a real email address nor an additional address for these things.

This is so important it should have been an option from the beginning of simplelogin. How can it possibly be right to invent an alias for log-in, but not let it be used to send an email to the company in question. Not having this defeats simplelogin's whole raison-d'etre. Do it yesterday
