New section spotted in the Sieve code...
2b. Sieve generated for disabled masked email addresses
I think a "masked" email address might also be considered a disposable email address (alias) and 2b is for handing such addresses which are no longer wanted. I guess it's a work in progress since I see nothing else in the UI to support this. I create disposables using a single alias. For example if bar@mm.st is the alias then foo@bar.mm.st can be a disposable alias based on the actual alias and allow FM's fuzzy folder matching to do the sorting. But to handle "removal" of such disposables requires additional code. That, I think, would be more-or-less equivalent to what that new section 2b is for FM's "masked" addresses. Of course I could be way off base. Time will tell. Note, I submitted a ticket asking about this to see if my theory is correct. |

There’s some Fastmail fuzz on Twitter.

I haven't played around with these as yet but my initial feeling is that if you don't have your own custom domain (I don't, I use a forwarding service, or can the domains be FM alias domains?) I'm not sure if these are any better than doing what I have been doing. Using 1password may be some advantage but like I said I have to read the documentation first and digest (and play around with) this new feature. Last edited by xyzzy : 29 Sep 2021 at 05:09 AM. |

Huh?
I've now played around with these masked addresses and I still prefer to stick with using my overloaded email addresses as I mentioned in my first post here. To summerize... My masked/temporary/disposable email addresses are created on the fly as I need them by "overloading" a alias created for the purpose. Sorting is automatically done for me based on the local part I choose and the alias's target setting. Also, since it's based on an alias my actual account domain is not part of the email addresses. For deletion all I need is to add the email address to an one of 3 lists in my Sieve code (trivial editing albeit not clicking an option like FM masked UI) to either reject, trash, or reject and save a copy depending on which list they are on. Since I don't use 1password I do not know what, if anything, this adds to FM's "masked" email addresses aside for some integration between it and FM. But I assume I could still tell 1password an email address and its corresponding password if I were to use it. Last edited by xyzzy : 29 Sep 2021 at 05:51 PM. |

I think they will charge for the 1password but I may be wrong

AgileBits charges for 1Password. Why did you think it was free?
