Plus addressing and subdomain addressing on Android

Hello,

Plus addressing and subdomain addressing are very nice features of Fastmail but I couldn't find an offline email client for Android which can easily use these features (Fastmail app is online only and specific to Fastmail).

Basically I would like to be able to:
  1. Send from an email address whateveryoulike@user.example.com or user+whateveryoulike@example.com without necessarily creating an identity/alias first
  2. When receiving an email to whateveryoulike@user.example.com or user+whateveryoulike@example.com and replying to these emails, the sender's address should be automatically set to these email addresses without necessarily creating an identity/alias first

On a normal computer, we can use Thunderbird with the Virtual Identity plugin.
On Android, so far I haven't found anything.

Do someone know an Android app which does this ?

Thanks

have you tried to official Fastmail app on Android? Whatever setting you create on the web interface is consistent and available on the Fastmail app.

The Aqua Mail Pro version, as I recall, has some support for identities (but not "on the fly" addresses). I have not used it for a while but, if looking for a feature rich Android Mail client, this is about the best I have seen. Take a look and see what you think.

Yes, it had identities. Same as K-9 mail (open source and without the Flurry tracker compared to Aquamail).
However it is indeed not possible to have "on the fly" addresses like Fastmail.

Even on the desktop, I haven't found much except Thunderbird + Virtual Identity.
