email bug reports rejected from work
Reported by Clive Crous | July 14th, 2008 @ 02:14 AM
I use lighthouse for my own personal projects and recently convinced the company I work for to migrate to lighthouse as well. When I'm at work our email system prevents me from sending out emails from any other email address other than my work email address.
When I'm at home I don't want to send emails from my work email address.
It would be really useful if I could setup extra email addresses in my profile. Currently the only way I'm able to work around this is by changing email address in my profile each morning when I get to work and reversing that change just before I leave for home :(

That doesn't sound fun at all. We have actually talked about having alternate email options for accounts a while back, but it hasn't been in high demand since.
I use a gmail account for my Lighthouse stuff, just to keep everything consolidated. But that doesn't help you much if you can't send from anything other than your work email address when in the office, unless they let you setup the account to be used inside gmail or something, so you can send out from your work email from a 3rd party account, which is how I have my stuff setup.

yea, there are ways to work around it, even setting up my gmail to send from my work address should work fine, but then I still have to manage making sure that the "sent from" identity is correct on every email sent.
There are a few ways for me to deal with it, so I wouldn't call this urgent, it's simply a matter of usability and convenience - I'm simply trying to streamline my work process-flow and having my account accept multiple addresses seems the best all round solution to me at the moment ;)
