SEND an email using Alias Addresses — Vital Protection for Journalists
I have been a subscriber to Iron Vest (fmr. DNT Abine) for years. It's a relatively expensive service, but having received Death Threats against me & my Family for my Journalistic Work, it has been a necessary one. It allows me to hide my Protonmail Address when communicating with unvetted sources. I can send, receive and reply to potentially unsafe sources. Just like Proton Pass, it also enables me to switch off spammers.
I was really Happy when Proton Pass came along! I have moved EVERYTHING over to Proton Technologies; Emails, Calendar, Cloud Drive, VPN and Passwords! It was a simple choice to make: PROTON KEEPS ME SAFE!
And with PASS, I thought I finally could wave goodbye to Iron Vest… But to my great disappointment I discovered that the Alias Addresses can only receive and not send.
I cannot initiate contact to a Source.
I would ask that Proton Technologies will consider adding this New Feature to Proton Pass. It is essential for Journalists working in a controversial field in Dangerous Parts of the World that we can contact Suggested Sources and correspond with them while at the same keep our actual Email Address hidden.
Thank you!

Isn't that called your email identities? On a paid subscription you get 15 custom Email addresses. As soon as one is compromised - void it and create a new one. Or 15 is not enough?

I want to be able to send emails from alias addresses and I'm not a journalist. Sometimes I need to send an email regarding an account made with an alias email address. I need to send the email with my main email address which defeats the purpose. Sometimes the Help Centre even refuses to acknowledge that I'm the owner of the account because I didn't send the email from the confirmed email of the account (the alias).

As far as I am aware that feature already exists but only in SimpleLogin.
So I guess they should be able to implement that relatively easy.
