Android e-mail client, multiple from addresses
Hi all, over the weekend I was searching for a good e-mail client which gives you the opportunity to change the "from" address. So I would like to change "me@domain" to "it@here" or "accounting@somewhere" before I send a mail. I wasn't successful to find this option using the Android standard client, as well as K-9 which is open source. Do you know a MUA that has this feature? Thanks Peter

You want to run this from android? Or a GUI, or a tty? Waaaay back in 2004ish, Sylpheed Claws could do this on a per-folder basis, with a dinky little GUI to construct the state machine. If you set $alternatives, mutt is smart enough to recognize an email to one of your identities, and to make the From in replies that identity (v. useful for subaddressing). I guess you could use hooks to e.g. mail mail to luv default to petros+luv@example.net instead of petros@. And I'd be utterly amazed if Gnus can't do that and more. PS: also note that smtp.gmail.com will de-spoof your From... I think. I haven't checked that for many years.

Further, it's apparently feasible to install Debian or Ubuntu (possibly other distributions as well) alongside Android on the same device, provided of course that you have enough free flash storage.

Well, people say "alongside"; IME mostly what they mean is "in a chroot", which IMO is a cop out. (I'm running Ubuntu natively on a tegra2 right now, but it was a prick to set it up, and I'm still running the vendor's android kernel. Maybe that's just the usual amount of ARM grief, though, and orthogonal to it shipping with android.)

Are you sure K-9 doesn't do what you want? Been a while since I looked at K-9, however I think if anything will do what you want it will be K-9. Of course, may have misunderstood what you want to do. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
May not be what you're looking for but I've got a central gmail account that I have all my other accounts linked to (a few ways to do this) and then all the separate send as addresses to send or reply with. If I receive mail from one domain the default send as will that that of the domain it was sent to. Pretty straight forward stuff. Then when I moved to android it was as simple as downloading the Gmail app and logging in with my gmail credentials and all the settings came across to my device.. No further setup was needed as it acts the same as the webmail and I can choose the send as address if I want to. On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 2:29 PM, Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>wrote:

I use gmail on android, all you have to do is go to gmail on a PC and register all the email addresses you want to use then when in android while composing an email press on the sender name at the top and it will drop down a list of From addresses Here is a screenshot of it https://www.dropbox.com/s/zah7920i8xgb7v7/Android_Gmail.png -- Mark "Pockets" Clohesy Mob Phone: (+61) 406 417 877 Email: hiddensoul@twistedsouls.com G-Talk: mark.clohesy@gmail.com GNU/Linux..Linux Counter #457297 - "I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code" "Linux is user friendly...its just selective about who its friends are"

Yep and I treat "ALL" on-line correspondence as public just like a Postcard, if I want to hide it I don't put it on a computer or other internet or phone network connected device or I use encryption , but that is really another matter aside from the original request by the OP -- Mark "Pockets" Clohesy Mob Phone: (+61) 406 417 877 Email: hiddensoul@twistedsouls.com G-Talk: mark.clohesy@gmail.com GNU/Linux..Linux Counter #457297 - "I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code" "Linux is user friendly...its just selective about who its friends are"

Regardless of the server you use you can expect Android to be significantly less secure than a typical Linux installation which has almost all software installed from apt or yum repositories. As an aside, does anyone know of a good way of removing Android malware? A relative installed something on their tablet which keeps giving spam notifications. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

That would be some feat, since the KGB became the FSB and SVR in 91. There are four classes of intelligence agency: - foreign intelligence (e.g. ASIS, SIS, CIA, SVR, Mossad) - domestic intelligence (e.g. ASIO, MI5, FBI, FSB, Shin Bet) - military intelligence (e.g. DIO, DIS, DIA, GRU, MID) - signals intelligene (e.g. DSD, GHCQ, NSA, Spetsviaz, 8200) In theory, we don't need to worry about military intelligence, other nations' domestic intelligence, or our foreign intelligence.

that's what they want you to think :)

yes, because living in a panopticon makes for such cheerful, happy and unstressed citizen-units. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>

mutt. Add 'set edit_headers' to your ~/.muttrc and you can add, delete, and edit any and all headers before you send (including deleting In-Reply-To headers if you lazily start a new thread on a list by replying to an old one but don't want to bugger up threading). you can also set folder-hooks and similar rules so that e.g. mail sent while you're reading a particular folder has a specific From address by default. or mail sent TO a particular address always has a specific From address. If you like GUI mail clients, Thunderbird aka Icedove has decent support for multiple accounts and addresses. thunderbird also has a great plugin called ExternalEditor which lets you use gvim as your editor. this is great because mail clients that don't/can't use vi aren't worth using. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>

sorry, ignore that. i didn't notice the Android requirement hidden in plain sight in the entirely obvious Subject header. OTOH ssh and mutt would work. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
