I would really love it if for people who use MailEnable (Me) could have the "Forwardings" section work a little differently.

When you create a new Mail Account, there is the option to "Forward to a different address"  This is good, but there should also be a checkbox for "leave a copy at the current mailbox"

Then instead of "Forwardings" (Because we have already dealt with that above), we should have the option to create "Alias's".  This way say i have an account called rockinthesixstring@mydomain.com and i also want messages sent to sales@mydomain.com, but i want those messagse sent to my main address "rockinthesixstring".  The way it currently deals with this, it creates a new mail account, forwards to the first address, and deletes the messages sent to the alias. 

This works, but causes MailEnable to process the message twice, scan it for spam twice, etc etc etc.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE, is it should create another "name" or "alias" under an existing email address, then any message sent to either one of those names will go directly to the appropriate mailbox on a single process AND when the user logs into webmail, they woudl have the option to send FROM either one of the two addresses.  As it sits now the user would NOT be able to send a message from sales@mydomain.com

Does this make sense?

Hi

I request this time ago. can you see the treat: http://forum.dotnetpanel.com/forums/t/2766.aspx

Yes I saw your suggestion but it was not totally clear to me.  I wanted to articulate my suggestion as clearly as possible.

MailEnable is already built to handle email the way I explained it above.  I think it is an injustice to the featureset of MailEnable to NOT utilize it the way it was intended.

I love the ability to add alias's to an account and then be able to send email from any one of those addresses via webmail.  I also really hate the fact that my scanners are working extra hard for all of these unnecessary forwardings.
