It works better for searching, it works offline, catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying, backup and archiving, can move mails from box to box without sending.

I also use roundcube, but only to read mails. If I want to reply to a catch-all mail I have to create an alias which is super tedious.

What do you mean by this? I’d like to be able to reply from a website@mydomain.com automatically.

For me Thunderbird makes me create an alias in order to reply to my catch all (*@mydomain.com). Did you have to configure something specifically?

This is built into Thunderbird for a while now.

Go to Account Settings
Enable Reply from this identity when delivery headers match
Enter your domain prefixed by a wildcard (*), for example *@yourdomain.com
Close/confirm all your changes
Open an email that was sent to one of your catch-all addresses and click the reply button.
The FROM field should be the catch-all address and not your general address.

I click on my "From" address and then select "Customize From Address...". I can then type anything I want up there. It's a little annoying when replying to an email chain with an alias, but not too many steps.

See my other reply, you can automate this with a setting so you don't have to edit it manually every time.
