Currently, Proton Mail restricts users to a set number of custom aliases when utilizing their own custom domain. In my case, I heavily rely on a catch-all approach for managing accounts such as Netflix, Amazon, Instagram, and more. The challenge arises when I receive emails related to these accounts and need to respond using specific aliases (e.g., [banking@mydomain.com](mailto:banking@mydomain.com)) instead of my default sender ([mail@mydomain.com](mailto:mail@mydomain.com)).

I recently came across a feature in FastMail that seems to address this seamlessly. When using a custom domain, FastMail allows users to easily change the start of the domain when sending or responding to an email. It provides a simple dropdown or similar mechanism for altering the sender's address ([changethispart@mydomain.com](mailto:changethispart@mydomain.com)).

If Proton Mail already has a similar feature that I might have overlooked, I would appreciate guidance on how to use it. However, if this isn't currently a part of Proton Mail's functionality, I would like to suggest considering its implementation.

Having the ability to change the alias effortlessly while responding to emails would be a valuable addition for users managing multiple accounts with a custom domain.

Hopefully you guys also see this being a useful feature and we can convince the Proton team to get it going ASAP.
