This extension allows the use of CatchAll-Addresses with Thunderbird.
It handles incoming messages addressed to all
<prefix>@domain.tld
for a fixed domain.As such, the features are:
- Automatically move incoming mail to directory denoted by
<prefix>
.- Automatically create thunderbird identity for
<prefix>
for replying from the correct address.- When replying to an email, Thunderbird automatically selects the identity as sender. No more confusing recipients anymore.
- The settings of each new identity are copied from the default identity of the account.
The postbox has a joint inbox as usual.
On incoming messages for
domain.tld
it:1. checks if a thunderbird identity with the given
<prefix>
is already present. If not, it creates the identity.2. checks if a subfolder of the inbox with the name
<prefix>
already exists. If not, it creates the folder3. moves the message into the inbox subfolder named
<prefix>
For security reasons, a prefix can only have the characters
a-z
