FossaMail ( https://www.fossamail.org/ ) announced that they will be shutting down next month, and I must search for a replacement email program again. So far, my research for replacements found Claws Mail, and Slypheed, but are there any other stand alone email programs that are being updated? One other requirement is PGP support for encrypted messages.

    I was in the same boat as you, I need the ability to use custom from headers.

    For those of you questioning why anyone would ever possibly want control over their email. My reason: I have multiple domains hosted from one email server and hundreds of "from" addresesses. Everyone that wants an email address gets companyname-mmh@mydomain.com, then when f^* hole sells my information, it's super easy to blacklist that email, and know which f$% hole to never give money to again.

    Anywho... back on point, there's a plugin for Thunderbird called "Virtual Identity" which allows you to customize the from header, and ever better, it "remembers" which from address to use for which to address the email is being sent to.

    People who want control over their mail use Alpine or Realpine or Mutt.
