    Imagine every email sent you have to put in both the "To" and the "From" address - strange, right? That's the current behavior for a lot of proton mail users. Only, it's worse since there is a default "From" address that is wrong for any ProtonMail users that are forwarding mail to their account so it's all too easy to send email from the wrong address.

    This needs to be fixed to allow a default 'from' address based on where the email was sent "To" rather than the "Deliver-To" address - which will always be the ProtonMail address for folks using forwarding. Maybe there are only 12 ProtonMail users that forward mail to their inboxes but that seems unlikely.

    This would be super helpful. Since replying already has a behavior this could be implemented in a backward-compatible way via a toggle in settings choosing the default address when replying as the 'To' address, the 'Delivered-To' address, or whatever it does now. This feature would be key for allowing migration to Protonmail via forwarding when MX records can't be changed for whatever reason.

    Stephen supported this idea  ·
