18-Sep-2026 — never show the mailbox account address as the sender of a sent message ref #368
What's new
A message sent from the email composer now shows the address it was actually sent from, not the Gmail account the mailbox happens to be connected through. Threads that already show the mailbox account are corrected.
At a glance
- Sent messages show the real sending address, whether recorded at the moment of sending or repaired later by the inbox poller
- Existing threads showing the mailbox account are corrected when the site is deployed
- Each new inbox message is sent in one digest email, even when several servers run the digest at the same time
How it behaves
The sender is taken from the composition's own branded or unbranded address, then the owner's address, then the alias, and never the mailbox account itself. Inbound mail is not touched.
