By clicking it, a textbox will replace the dropdown, allowing you to enter whatever you want as sender value (it must be a valid "From:" header field value, though). When replying to an e-mail sent to you through an address not in your identities list, plugin will automatically fire and set "From:" header to the address the original e-mail was sent to. Install ------- [](#install) ### Option 1: install with Composer [](#option-1-install-with-composer) Execute `composer require r3c/custom-from` from your RoundCube install directory and run the install command. See instructions from RoundCube website for details: . ### Option 2: install manually [](#option-2-install-manually) Clone repository content to a `custom_from` directory inside your RoundCube `plugins` directory, so that file `custom_from.php` file can be found at `$ROUNDCUBE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/plugins/custom_from/custom_from.php`. ``` cd $ROUNDCUBE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY git clone https://github.com/r3c/custom_from.git ``` Then reference plugin by adding an item "custom\_from" to RoundCube plugins list in configuration (variable `$config['plugins']` variable in file `$ROUNDCUBE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/config/main.inc.php`). Ensure your web user has read access to the plugin directory and all files in it. Usage ----- [](#usage) Once plugin is installed, custom sender button will appear at the right hand side of the identity selection list. Open "Reply address (Custom From)" in user preferences to configure how plugin should behave when replying to an e-mail. Thanks ------ [](#thanks) - dwurf () for the globals $IMAP and $USER fix - Peter Dey () for the custom header feature - kermit-the-frog () for various bugfixes ### Health Score 46 — FairBetter than 93% of packages Maintenance67 Regular maintenance activity Popularity32 Limited adoption so far Community22 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity56 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 73.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
