I’ve just released a new Thunderbird extension, “Addy.io / AnonAddy for Thunderbird“, which provides easy access to Addy.io functionality when composing email messages in Thunderbird. The extension mostly automates the process of replacing the recipient addresses of your messages–when you want to–with proxy email addresses that route through Addy.io, so the recipients will see an Addy.io alias for you instead of your real email address which you’re trying to keep private.
As I recently wrote, I’ve switched over to using Addy.io as much as possible when giving out my email address. I wrote this extension because I’m a heavy Thunderbird and this makes it easier for me to keep my email address private when I need to send email messages to entities I don’t want to have my real address.
The extension lives on GitHub, and you can submit issues or suggestions there. If you find this extension useful, please consider donating to support its continued development and maintenance. It takes a lot of time and effort to create and maintain Thunderbird extensions, and support is always welcome and appreciated. You can donate through Liberapay or Patreon for recurring donations, or Paypal or Venmo for one-time donations.
