support for forward-only accounts
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:24:23 UTC
---- Reported by geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-03-23 05:07:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 6647 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6647 Searchable id: yorba-bug-6647 Original author: Andrea Corbellini Original description: Geary should support mail accounts without a mailbox which you can use just to send mail (i.e. accounts with SMTP but without IMAP). Traditional email clients require you to insert the SMTP and POP/IMAP settings for your 'master' account (the one with the mailbox), and then add the other forward-only accounts by copying the same SMTP settings over and over. This is just annoying. Geary could be smarter about this and let you specify a list of mail aliases for your accounts.

We'll leave this one open to indicate support for this kind of setup, since it sounds distinct enough than what #5964 is trying to accomplish. #### #4 Updated by Jim Nelson 6 months ago * **Tracker** changed from _Bug_ to _Feature_ #### #5 Updated by Jim Nelson 6 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.4.0_ to _0.5.0_ --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 23:11 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6647 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6647 Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary.

Dear Geary developers, any update on this one? Please add this feature, it's very important IMHO. And please make it so that one can use a different SMTP server as it is requested here. I do not like how it is requested over there: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714922 (without being able to use a different SMTP server). Being able to use a different SMTP server is very important IMHO. It would be much appreciated. Regards
+1 I would be happy with Bug 714922 also, but this would be even better.
*** Bug 740861 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I am running into an issue where an Office365 managed domain drops all emails sent to the same domain but with a non-Office365 SMTP. A simple solution may be to add the possibility to specify an SMTP when adding an alias in the “additional email addresses” window.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
