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.

    Some domains of mine have email catch-all accounts. A few times I want to answer email sent to a non-existent, disabled or black-holed account to make sure the sender did not just mistype the recipient address for a legitimate email without giving out an actual account I use. I do *not* want to have hundreds of valid accounts on my email-servers to do this just because blockhead Thunderbird thinks it's smarter than I or because it wants to play SJW or it thinks it has a duty in policing the Internet and it's users.

    Huh? This sounds like exactly what I do with Thunderbird every day. I've got a number of wildcard addresses, a couple specific noreply addresses, a few addresses that route only to special systems. I can send an email from any of those addresses through Thunderbird even through a totally different account just by typing the address in the from field, you don't even need to create an account identity anymore, and you certainly don't need to verify ownership or anything. What exactly do you think is missing?
