Description text or notes for aliases (perhaps mailboxes too) #5135

Open pquan opened 1 year ago

pquan commented 1 year ago

Summary

I would like to be able to add a description text on each alias. This would be used just as a note on each alias like the reason it was created for, for documentation purposes. This would just be an extra field in the database and would not have an impact on any functionality.

Motivation

I use aliases to register on different services, never giving my real email address. If a service starts pushing spam or has a data breach, I then know where the spam is coming from and may decide to delete my accounts and turn the alias into a spam learning alias.

This is very useful for say registering on forums, filling contact forms etc.

The temporary alias does not fit here, because I normally want to keep the alias active until I decide I don't need it any more, or until something happens, like when I start receiving spam from this specific alias.

Additional context

I have dozens if not hundreds of such aliases and it is difficult to keep track of them. Having a comment with the site where the alias was used will help me organize.
