Working with multiple email addresses on different domains

[DeltaGolf]

I have a couple or three email addresses. Some are on the same domain, some are on other domains. What's the easiest / best way to work with these?

I could have all email delivered to a single user account. Easy and all mail is in one email box on MailPlus web version and client apps. Trouble is its hard to see which address an email was sent to. Filtering and moving to sub-mailboxes is possible but not very friendly on client apps.

Or I could create a user for each email account. Fine on a client app - and how its done at the moment - but for webmail you have to log in and out.

So, multiple email addresses accessible at a single webmail interface where domains are separated plus access via client apps.

Couldn't you use one email account in MailPlus and apply Inbox rules (i.e. when new mail arrives) to apply different labels based on the To address or Keyword*? I think in MailPlus this is under Filter section of Settings.

Does keyword work in mail headers? That would be the useful area to look for matches.

Usually a mail client will use the To address as the reply address, so you should normally be ok if you need to do that.

I'm trying with rules which get mail sent to "[email protected]" put into its own folder. It works but as a subfolder of the main mailbox its a bit hidden in the desktop email app. It shows possibility though. More experimentation.

Just wondered if anyone else had already invented this wheel!

That’s why I was thinking that labels might be better. Not that I have experience with MailPlus. With other mail clients they show the label colours in the message list.

I have four mail domains running on my MailPlus server and just the one user account on the NAS that all the mail goes to. I find it is easy to manage with MailPlus webmail client. You can select which email account you want to send from when you send a mail and I just use filters and create labels on emails as they arrive. I used to use the folders but found it wasn't as easy with the filters, as it moved the items into the folders and you had to 'notice' that they were there by the folder name having gone bold.

Thanks, yes, I think labels is the easiest way, I'm doing that now!
BTW as you have four email domains you may be able to help with my next question about certificates...
