Works great!
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
To my great regret, my add-on is not working. I get this error: "Sending of the message failed.
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Error: transaction failed, blame it on the weather: backend: invalid email address: not owned by user. Please check the message and try again.".
I should point out that I am using Proton Mail Bridge running macOS 12.5 on a mac-mini Intel.
Thunderbird 102.1.0
The built-in redirect works without problems, but I can't use it because it's not available in Message Filters.
Let me explain the situation. I have a custom domain connected in protonmail and with emails for my whole family. I want to use filters to automatically redirect emails to my family members personal emails.

1. I understand the difference :)
2. Apparently, it's the provider's problem, not the add-on.
3. v1.23
I tried running the same scenario under Ubuntu, nothing changed. But I found a solution without redirecting messages, so my problem is solved.
The add-on is very useful and needed. Due to the fact that I could not try the add-on at work, only four stars, sorry.
1. Be sure you're really using the add-on. It's called by the 'Redirect' with the icon in front of it far down in the context menu of a mail. The 'Redirect' below the 'Forward' entries calls the TB internal redirect function which works quite differently.
2. Not all providers accept mails if the from address is not from their own domain (e.g. outlook and the german providers web.de and gmx.de). But this is the normal case when using the add-on. Seems that Proton belongs to these providers as the error 'invalid email address: not owned by user' suggests.
If you have access to another SMTP mail server, try that server to redirect the mail (change the 'From' in the first line of the add-ons popup window).
3. Redirecting using this add-on via filters is supported since version 1.21 of the add-on

Perfect tool!
I use it to add the redirect missing function to Gmail and Outlook.
This is essential to report an __original email__ in the context of a trial or a cyber-attack analysis.

Nice!

Great that there is finally a worthy replacement for the long-defunct original version. It works excellently!

Works great! Since upgrading to TB 78, I've been missing the original Mail Redirect from Onno Ekker. This add-on does the job, as long as your SMTP server allows what my corporate server called "unauthorized" From: addresses. So far, this has worked with my Google Workspace account and my Gmail account, as well as through an unauthenticated SMTP server.

Sehr schön, dass ich endlich einen Nachfolger von "Mail Redirect" gefunden habe.
Edit: Meine ursprüngliche Kritik hat sich auf die mir (noch nicht) bekannte eingebaute Umleiten-Funktion (erkennt man daran, dass man den Nachrichtentext sieht, wenn man Umleiten klickt und sich ein Fenster öffnet) bezogen. Das Add-on macht tatsächlich 100% das, was ich erwarte. Nochmals Danke!
Verstehe ich nicht. Soll die Absendeadresse nun geändert werden oder nicht?
Laut dem Standard (RFC5322 Abs. 3.6.6), dem dieses Add-on folgt, wird die Absendeadresse nicht geändert.
Wenn du möchtest, das die Absendeadresse geändert wird, solltest du den Befehl 'Umleiten' benutzen, den Thunderbird mit Version 91 eingeführt hat, und der einigermaßen anders funktioniert.

A very nice add-on which properly preserves the original sender for the recipient of the redirected message. The built-in T-bird redirect functionality makes redirected messages look like they came from me, which is confusing to people.
One feature request... it would be nice if I could specify one or more default "to" addresses since I virtually always redirect my messages to the same person. The original "Mail Direct" add-on had this functionality and I miss it.
Thank you!
I would suggest creating a maillist and use that as address

Hilfe, seit einiger Zeit gibt es das folgende Problem, wenn die Tastenkombination STRG+B gedrückt wurde, dann landete man direkt in den Feld "An" und es konnte der Empfänger eingegeben werden, das war Perfekt. Jetzt muss man sage und schreibe fünfmal die Tab-Taste drücken bis man in den "Empfänger..." Feld landet. Könnten Sie bitte den Ursprungszustand wiederherstellen oder eine Möglichkeit schaffen, wo jeder es selbst bestimmen kann, welches Feld zuerst aktiv sein soll. Bitte einen Spenden Paypal Button einrichten, damit man sich für dieses tolle Add-on bedanken kann. (Buy Me A Coffee button)
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.17). This user has 3 previous reviews of this add-on.Ja, eigentlich sollte der Fokus im 'An' Feld sein. Leider ist die Funktion (eine Thunderbird Interne), die das bewerkstelligt, irgendwann in der Entwicklung hin zu TB91 auf der Strecke geblieben. Genauer: sie funktioniert einfach nicht mehr. Ich werde mich nochmal damit beschäftigen.

So thankful that this function has been restored to Thunderbird by this developer. Where would Thunderbird be without him and other developers keeping the useful "differences" in Thunderbird alive!

Noticed some regressions with TB 91.
- address completion stopped working in the input field
- redirected messages are always saved to Sent Items regardless of whether you check the respective checkbox or not
The 'always saved' problem is fixed in Version1.15.
For the other problem i assume, you are using cardbook. This is now fixed in version 1.17 of this add-on and version 71.0 of cardbook.

It's a very nice add-on.
But I found a problem.
After using this add-on on the second screen of dual-screen, if you use it only one screen, this add-on window will appear out of the screen.
This is fixed in version 1.15

Great add-on. Having option to set default recipient would greatly help in my work-flow.

Sorry, I made a mistake in my analysis. My long line wrap problem only appears when the Thunderbird interface is in French.
Simple Mail Redirect has nothing to do with my problem.
Thanks again for this extension, which works perfectly.

Hi Günter,
I have a new problem: long lines don't wrap correctly (text or html mode received messages).
I use a combination of extensions and TB interface language, and the behavior varies according to the combinations:
- en_us interface without Simple Mail Redirection: wrapping ok
- en_us interface with Simple Mail Redirection: wrapping not ok
- fr interface without Simple Mail Redirection: wrapping not ok
- fr interface with Simple Mail Redirection: wrapping not ok
My configuration: Ubuntu 21.04 Wayland + TB 78.8.1 + Simple Mail Redirection 1.10
Have you an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Giles
Simple Mail Redirection does not have any lines which could wrap. So what are you talking about?
Please contact me by email and send me a screenshot of your problem.

Tolles Add-on!
Auch ich wünsche mir jedoch die Möglichkeit eine Adresse als Standard zu definieren welche dann als Vorbelegung für den Empfänger verwendet wird.
Der Grund ist: Dieses Add-on ist perfekt eingehende Mails von Kunden an ein Ticket-System weiter zu leiten, wenn ein Kunde nicht direkt an das Ticketsystem geschrieben hat. In 100% aller Fälle verwend ich immer dieselbe Adresse als neues Ziel.

Huge thanks, works well!
Question: Is it possible to add 'redirect to' to the right click context menue when right clicking on addresses in headers or bodies?
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very useful add-on, I use it for redirecting important mails to an account used for archiving only.
Is it possible to configure a default recipient for the "To:" field?
Sorry, no.
Question to everyone: Is this feature of general interest?

Hello,
it's a very needed addon.
It will be very usefull if the redirected mail should appear in the sent folder.
best regards,
Zsolt

Hi. Thank you for this practical add-on. I'm using this tool a lot.
Is there any possibility to add the option to receive a copy of the redirected e-mail in the fold "sent" with the day- and time mark?
Best regards
Sacha
