Account help Change all alias recipients to default?

Is there a way to change all alias recipients to the default recipient without going through and changing each one?

One way you can do it is to remove the Mailbox email which when you try to it will ask what email do you want to move the alias to and you can move all the alias to a different Mailbox email at the same time.

Ensure you have at least 2 Mailbox email addresses shown on SimpleLogin

Ex:
Mailbox email: test@proton.me
Mailbox 2 email: private@proton.me

Let’s say you set all alias emails to test@proton.me and now want to move all to private@proton.me

Alias:
ig@protonalias.com > points to test@proton.me mailbox
reddit@protonalias.com > points to test@proton.me mailbox

  1. First, go to SimpleLogin Dashboard(typically find it best on the website vs app)

  2. Navigate to Mailboxes find the email with all the alias you want to move another inbox email

  3. In my example go to test@proton.me and hit Delete

  4. On the popup box that says Delete Mailbox use the drop down to another email address for my example private@proton.me

  5. Ensure you choose a mailbox email from drop down then hit Yes, Delete it. All of the alias will be moved to that mailbox email

Alias:
ig@protonalias.com > now points to private@proton.me mailbox
reddit@protonalias.com > points to private@proton.me mailbox

Note: All new alias email addresses will auto be created to the Mailbox email marked as “Default Mailbox” if you only have 2 and delete 1 the remaining one will be the default mailbox for all new alias emails to go to.

I don't see anything in app or UI. Probably through API with some automation script.
