The earlier suggestion of using a wildcard on the
Aliases screen won't work. The
Aliases screen is used for controlling which aliases are active for your account and how mail is delivered to those aliases. You are instead asking about the Compose screen for creating a new message, and that requires setup in the Personalities screen and the
When replying setup screen. The
current interface has full support for automatic reply address generation, so you don't have to manually create the From address when replying!
You can do this with the current user interface with wildcard personalities:
- Create a personality in Advanced>Personalities with an address of *@user.fastmail.fm
- See Fastmail Personalities help (second bullet point)
- On the Settings>Preferences>Writing>When replying screen select Reply from the same account the message was sent to
- You will then be able to choose the wildcard personality at the top of the Compose screen, which allows you to edit the From email address as you wish. But you probably won't need to enter a custom address very often, since after these changes the From address when you reply will automatically be set to the proper subdomain address used by the sender!
