Mail

Setup: Identities

Catch-all email addresses

If you have an email address where you can make up parts of it, and your server supports that, you can configure that. For example, if you have [email protected], then GMail supports [email protected], and it should arrive in your inbox just the same. If you have such a special address, you can configure a second, additional identity for that account with yourname+*@gmail.com as email address. The * stands for "put anything you want here".

Now, when you send a new email, the identity selector will change into a text field, and you can put anything - e.g. the name of the recipient - in place of the * in your email address.

Likewise, when you reply to an email that was sent to your email address [email protected], this email address will be recognized, and automatically used as From address in the reply. This ensures that you reply with the same email address that the sender knows of you.

This feature allows you to make up an email address for each recipient. This allows you to track what companies do with your email address. When somebody or a company leaks your email address, e.g. because they were hacked, and you are being spammed, you can simply stop only that one address.

Before you use that feature, make sure that your server supports it and that you can actually recieve emails on that email address. Please do not make up email addresses that don't work. Also note that [email protected] is probably not a good idea, because you will catch a lot, lot, lot of spam.

Calendar

The duration is shown as "1 day", although it's 2 days?

Compare Event 1

with Event 2

This may look like a bug, but it's actually correct. Event 1 starts on 9:00 and goes until 9:00 the next day. It touches parts of 2 different days, which is why you could think of it as 2 days, but its duration is actually 24 hours, which is exactly 1 day. It's just a different way to look at it. If you add 1 hour, it will show a duration of "25 hours", which makes sense. The dialog simply shows "24 hours" as "1 day", which makes this special case look weird.

Event 2 is an all-day event. It starts at 00:00:00 of the first day and ends shortly after 23:59:59 at the end of the last day. Therefore, its duration is actually 2 entire days.
