Impossible to compose from or reply from "plussed" E-Mail address

Jacinto · 23 Dec 2019, 05:26 AM

I use "plussed" addresses (example: ABC+YZ@RB.___) quite a bit.

Receiving mail to plussed addresses with RB works well.

Regrettably, composing mail from a plussed address and replying to mail received by a plussed address with a plussed address sender are both impossible with both RB6 and RB7 webmail interfaces.

It is also impossible to create a plussed address alias.

Sending mail from plussed addresses isn't rocket science.

Unless I'm missing something, I cannot understand why such a basic capability is missing from Runbox's E-Mail implementation?

Thank you.

Oh, yes this is possible with R6 (don't know about RB7). The trick is called "profile" in RB-speak.

My hat is off to you, Sir -- thank you.

Although somewhat convoluted, it does, indeed, work.

Now, for extra credit, if you know:

Why doesn't the pop-up composition window close after a message is sent (Firefox browser)?

Thank you, again.

It closes for me: Win7, FF71.0 (but I'm sure the behaviour has been the same with older versions).

Hi, Janusz.

Also tried it with a Chrome browser, same difference.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but I have the "Compose in new window" Folder Preference ticked.

My Platform is Linux Mint 17 Qiana, but that shouldn't make a difference. Both Firefox and Chrome work essentially the same on Windows and Linux.

Perhaps one of the RB developers will care to chime-in.

We'll see.
