Describe the solution you'd like Upgrade the Runbox 6 Account > Aliases screen (https://runbox.com/mail/account_alias) to Angular with existing functionality.

Aliases screen in Runbox7 should be part of: https://runbox.com/app/account/identities, aka src/app/profiles/profiles.component.ts

Although they overlap, aliases is for receiving email and identities for sending email, so they should remain on different screens.

Aliases are straight forward as they are only used in one way. Identities are complex because there can be more than one that makes use of the same alias and some don't relate to aliases at all as they are addresses that are hosted on other email services.

Therefore, although there is an understandable desire to integrate them, there are too many common edge cases where it would cause confusion and therefore adopting the "mantra" that aliases are for receiving email and identities are for sending email and keeping the management of both separate but linked where sensible is probably the best middle ground.
