Steps to reproduce:
With the "catch all" feature (implemented in bug 1518025), it is possible to define a pattern for the email address by using the star '*'. Right now it can be used only for domain filtering ( *@domain.tld ).
However the disposable address (DA) feature of yahoo has this format "FixedPrefix-VariableSuffix@yahoo.com". FixedPrefix is the same for all DA of the yahoo account, while VariableSuffix is different for each address. So I would like to put "myPrefix-*@yahoo.com" in the field. This isn't supported for now.
A use case where this can be useful is when there are other yahoo addresses in the "To:" field but my DA is not in it (it is only in the X-Apparently-To field).
Right now I can only put "*@yahoo.com" in the CatchAll field. This would take the ForeignPrefix-suffix1@yahoo.com email for my reply, while I actually would like to use myPrefix-mail@yahoo.com.
Steps to reproduce
- Set this header
X-Apparently-Tointo the pref:mail.compose.catchAllHeaders - In the catchAll checkbox field (in the identity config) set
*@yahoo.com, myPrefix-*@yahoo.com - Add this email to your tb:
Imagine this email having:
To: ForeignPrefix-suffix1@yahoo.com
X-Apparently-To: myPrefix-mail@yahoo.com
From - Sat Nov 14 20:26:35 2020
X-Apparently-To: myPrefix-mail@yahoo.com; Sat, 14 Nov 2020 19:26:30 +0000
From: test <test@doamin.com>

- Reply to it, it will use "ForeignPrefix-suffix1@yahoo.com" as sender
Expected behaviour:
I would have liked it to use "myPrefix-mail@yahoo.com" (since ForeignPrefix is not mine)

I think this would be a great feature to have, which is not limited to yahoo.
The proposed pattern setting would also allow for the more "standard" separator "+", for example gmail supports "user+whatever@gmail.com", which could be defined as "user+*@gmail.com".

I had some interest in this too, however upon close inspection, Protonmail sets the “Delivered-To” header to the canonical address, as recommended in experimental RFC 9228 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9228.html#section-5-3.3). This header can be added to the comma-separated list of headers mail.compose.catchAllHeaders (in the config editor). I’ve checked and gmail does not set this header ; I don’t have the ability to check for other providers.
