Description

Feature Request

Enable aliases also for provisioned accounts.

Summary

I know of #425, but https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/blob/14d9bb50fdddc7f20a05c02d09a8c7d392e36032/src/components/AccountSettings.vue#L37 definitely prevents aliases from working on provisioned ("default") mail accounts. And since #425 is so old and already closed, i thought i'd open a new issue. But if you would rather reopen the old issue, feel free to close this one.

I guess since #2259 is merged now, this should be relatively simple?

Research direction

Start with src/components/AccountSettings.vue at the referenced line, where provisioned ("default") accounts currently prevent aliases. Review the related context in issues #425 and #2259, then define the change so aliases work for provisioned accounts and verify that the account settings behavior no longer blocks them.
