        It works better for searching, it works offline, catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying, backup and archiving, can move mails from box to box without sending.

        I also use roundcube, but only to read mails. If I want to reply to a catch-all mail I have to create an alias which is super tedious.

          What do you mean by this? I’d like to be able to reply from a website@mydomain.com automatically.

          For me Thunderbird makes me create an alias in order to reply to my catch all (*@mydomain.com). Did you have to configure something specifically?

            This is built into Thunderbird for a while now.

            1. Go to Account Settings
            2. Enable Reply from this identity when delivery headers match
            3. Enter your domain prefixed by a wildcard (*), for example *@yourdomain.com
            4. Close/confirm all your changes
            5. Open an email that was sent to one of your catch-all addresses and click the reply button.
            6. The FROM field should be the catch-all address and not your general address.
