<p dir="auto">Greetings!</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m attempting to use submailboxes based on my own user names. For example, the e-mail address for my account at Amazon is <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">amazon@pub.example.tld</code> and for SpaceWeather is <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">spaceweather@pub.example.tld</code>. If I have messages for both in one folder, I’d like to see:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Folder
- amazon
- spaceweather
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">If I set up the submailboxes with unique values of <strong>To » Identity > User > No Specifier</strong>, this works fine.</p>
<p dir="auto">But now if I write <em>to</em> Amazon from the same address, of course, I’m also getting a submailbox for the username at Amazon that I write to (say, <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">xyzzy@amazon.com</code> adds an <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">xyzzy</code> submailbox).</p>
<p dir="auto">Am I misunderstanding how “Identities” work? I’m using a wildcard in the Address Patterns for the account that looks like <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">.*@pub\.example\.tld</code> in order to let MailMate know what addresses are mine. I would think that would pick up my own <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">amazon@pub.example.tld</code> but not <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">xyzzy@amazon.com</code> at all.</p>
<p dir="auto">And actually, to test, I dropped a completely unrelated e-mail message into the box — and I get a new submailbox for the recipient of that message, too, so it looks to me like the “Identity” shorthand isn’t working properly, rather than that my regex is off. Of course, it’s regex — so I may well be wrong!</p>
<p dir="auto">Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug here?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks,</p>
<p dir="auto">— Erik</p>
