hi @guimard,

You can set up the identities in Manage account -> Profiles

[guimard]

Hi @hoangdat, so I have to add an identity instead of being able to modify my primary identity ?

[hoangdat]

Hi, you can edit any identity, and add what you want. Then choosing the identity when composing new email.

[guimard]

I think Tmail app should be able to edit default identity (like other clients)

[guimard]

It works after adding new identity. Maybe Tmail should create de default one during JMAP enrollment ?

Yes, clearly @guimard you are pointing some user experience that would benefit from being improved.

@hoangdat is right, in JMAP, identity is the right concept to come up with in order to carry the Display name of the sender email address.

It's reasonable, at least to me, that we find a way for the backend to supply such a value.

Very likely we could get the display name from the LDAP and be able to pre-provision a reasonable default identity with reasonable display name from it, using tools like LSC. (LDAP is not a core dependency for James/Tmail backend).

I did open https://github.com/linagora/tmail-backend/issues/554 to handle such concerns.

Hi, While we (as the backend side) could work on provisioning a default display name, I believe currently "User is able to edit default identity (like other clients)`.

Our JMAP Identity APIs do support retrieving default identities and modify those default identities.

I checked how FE calls identity APIs, there are 2 issues:

• Identity/get do return default identities, however, FE does not display them in the identities managing screen. Server response:

  {
  "sessionState": "2c9f1b12-b35a-43e6-9af2-0106fb53a943",
  "methodResponses": [
      ["Identity/get", {
          "accountId": "8e1534a48ceb6a660b23b18d0de5fba066b2179de5872d4426f90a2cc931095d",
          "state": "2c9f1b12-b35a-43e6-9af2-0106fb53a943",
          "list": [{
              "name": "Quan1",
              "htmlSignature": "",
              "id": "83b2487a-f5f1-4a20-b7d4-e84cd1d25d9a",
              "bcc": [],
              "textSignature": "",
              "mayDelete": true,
              "email": "hqtran@linagora.com",
              "replyTo": []
          }, {
              "name": "hqtran@linagora.com",
              "email": "hqtran@linagora.com",
              "htmlSignature": "",
              "id": "a5f670c5-d5e0-3b22-8197-02a9c37cad27",
              "textSignature": "",
              "mayDelete": false
          }]
      }, "c0"]
  ]
  }

  FE only displays custom identity:

• FE does not support modify default identities.

Solved. Closing...
