Like Abine, would it be possible to add a "Last contact" column on Aliases page?:

I strongly vote against this. I would not want this type of information be logged by the server. If you really need to know, you can check your mail program.

I understand the concern. So perhaps something that can be configured in privacy preferences to optionally enable. (Default would be security/privacy first.. so would need to be manually enabled). It wouldn't need to maintain a full log, it could simply update a register with the latest timestamp as it passes through. Much like it does for message count of forwarded/blocked. (At least that's how I assume it works)

Yes optional is fine, but it should not be just set hidden=false. I prefer AnonAddy to be a bare bones tool that doesn't try to aggregate and analyze all the data that flows through it. Competitors have added way too much logging for my taste.

Users are already increasing their attack surface by adding a middleman to the mix, so why then also ask the middleman to log/aggregate information. I think the convenience is not worth it.

Why? This is already logged by Postfix server and the Forwarded counter already gives an hint of the alias activity.

There is a world in which logs are not kept forever.

I, too, would like to see a 'last used' date so I have some idea if anything is coming through for the relevant address.

I've just added this along with an option in the settings to disable it.

You can also now sort your aliases by Last Forwarded At, Last Replied At, Last Sent At and Last Blocked At.

To view the date information you need to hover over the "count" number for forwarded, blocked etc. on the aliases page.

You can find the option on the settings page under Save Alias 'Last Used At'.
