Gecko -- Thanks for your input. Unfortunately I'm still confused about this privacy point: Suppose my objective is to send email to, and get replies from, an untrusted destination while preserving my privacy to the maximum extent. (Let's also admit that this is being done from Runbox Webmail.) What is the most straightforward way to do this?

The reply part seems clear enough, as I can set up an alias and specify that in the "From" drop-down. It also appears that I can set up a profile for some new folder that specifies the arbitrary address from which a message is to be sent. (I say apparently sent because there seems no way for Runbox to gain access to an unrelated SMTP server.) Perhaps you are trying to tell me that these two steps can be combined into one?

It is clear from the documentation that this "From" address must be verifiable. Since this address apparently also will appear in the "From" field of any message that I send, it inevitably reveals a valid email address that I own.) I guess I would have to set up a real but expendable email account somewhere from which to send such messages with some degree of privacy. Correct?

Am I I still missing something? -- jclarkw
