Using "custom addresses" in new UI
I was wondering whether there was a way to use “custom addresses“ with the new UI. It works in the classic one, but I can’t find the option in the new UI.
By custom addresses, I mean something like 123@user.fastmail.fm For example, if I receive an email at 123@user.fastmail.fm, and that this isn’t a registered personality, in the classic interface, I could reply from 123@user.fastmail.fm. This doesn’t seem to be the case in the new UI. Is the fact that this is not in the new UI an indication that FM may stop supporting this very useful feature? Thanks |

I want that as well! One of the best features in the classic UI. If you have a custom domain and have catch all you can create new email addresses on the fly. Very useful.

Why wonder???
This isn't the only good feature from the classic interface missing in the new one! One possible solution (which I adopt) is continue using the classic interface Last edited by odedp : 29 Jun 2014 at 01:53 PM. |

But that works, I think. Try *@username.fastmail.fm on the aliases screen.

Setting up personality for use with subdomain address

You can do this with the current user interface with wildcard personalities:

This isn't the same feature as email reflecting, which FM stopped supporting, is it? Only two niggles I have: - Unfortunately, this doesn't work when replying from an IMAP client (Apple Mail in my case). - When composing, the default email that's displayed in the from field is "myfmloginusername@fastmail.fm", I'd much rather have something else displayed rather than my fm login name as I only use it for log in. Is there any way to have it display another username by default such as "defaultusername@fastmail.fm", where I can change "defaultusername" or even [blank]@fastmail.fm, which would remind me that I need to enter something before the "@"? Thanks again |

I don't think there is a way to remind yourself to enter a specific address when starting a new message in the Compose screen. As I said, the replies can be made automatic (from the subdomain address which was used in the message sent to you). Bill |

Thanks Bill,
I changed the part of the address before the @ in my default personality, and it's now displayed for the others, meaning that it doesn't display my login username. Thanks again. |

But this unfortunately does not work with a custom domain At least not in the new UI.

I've have setup a virtual domain. But when you use the new UI and compose a new message, you can't create a new email address for the that domain even if you have a wildcard. The To-field does not have a edit button.

Do you mean the FROM field? I have a personality that is *@mydomain -- when I compose a message and select it, I have the option to enter an address in the FROM field.
