    The work-around using the mobile webapp (not the Android app).

    1. You have a contact you want to share your email with but would like to use a personalized alias for obvious PRIVACY reasons (are you listening protonmail?!).
    2. Go to your now spam filled YahooHacked or GoogleSpy account.
    3. Send an email to yourself using the desired alias.
    4. In protonmail webapp (android or desktop) only, find the email you sent to yourself.
    5. FWD or RPLY and change the [To:] to your contact with whom you actually want to converse with.
    6. In all future correspondence with that contact, simply find (search) a previous email in protonmail using the same [From:] alias that you created, reply all and cleanup the message (delete contents) and start again (so you don't have to go to your external account to repeat steps 1-to-5). Again only from the webApp (android or desktop) - it will not work from the playStore "dedicated" app.

    It's a pretty sorry state when it comes to this, but Protonmail evidently don't want to come to the party in any manner (they would rather give you a discount or refund).

    From my discussions with protonmail support, this issue and alias problems in general will never be corrected. I suggest unhappy consumers vote on playstore. It seems the only place they take notice and also ask for $ back or a discount on your next renewal.

    I have found using the webapp version on Android to be a far more pleasant and useful experience. Using the webapp you can actually reply to en email that has contacted you via an alias address WITH THE VERY SAME alias address. Something not possible with the "dedicated" android app.

  2. Improve addressing with extension character; allow hyphen (-); use correct sender address.
