Can you help me creating an Identity for a Posteo alias? I have added my Posteo account succesfully, I can access it and all mail services seem to work fine.
Following the help topics in Posteo and K-9 mail I get stuck. First of all I do not see the function to add an identity. I do see the function to add an account. I’m not sure if this means the same. But when I use this function to add the alias email address this fails: “Authentication failed”. I get this message both when I use my app password and when I my account password of Posteo.
Thank you Zeroid, but I see a different menu: In Settings I see General settings and Add account. In both these menu items there is no topic for Sending. it seems I’m in a different place….
You need to pick an account from those listed in-between General Settings and Add An Account. Then you can continue on to Sending Mail and Manage Identities.
If you don’t have any accounts shown below General Settings, you will need to add one.
If your objective is to sort messages into different folders based on the To address, you could do that on the server, as as long as your server supports Sieve. If it does, there are a lot of tutorials available that can help get you started
No one is sending email directly to your smartphone. It is being delivered to a server somewhere. That server is where automated sorting of messages is best performed and is what I was referring to as “your server”.
If the mailserver supports Sieve, you can easily add server-side filtering rules. Google Gmail also has support to sort messages into folders, although they call them “labels”. If you can check with your email provider to see what filtering and sorting options they have, it will work far better than trying to apply similar logic client-side.
