Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/issues/219

I noticed that aliases can be exported as CSV in the settings.

Is there a way to delete all current aliases and re-import them from the same CSV format?

This would make it much easier to fix things like the format of the alias descriptions.

I haven't seen an import function, so in absence thereof I guess the best I could do is to request all aliases via GET api/v1/aliases and then update each of them individually via PATCH api/v1/aliases/{id}?

I would still encourage implementation of an import function, given many users are probably not super technical.

So to be specific, what I'm trying to achieve is to at least update the "Description" fields via some regex / sed filter.

What would be nice is to then also update the forwarding addresses based on what's in the updated description.

For that, I assume I would use POST api/v1/alias-recipients (in the absence of the import function that I'm asking about above).
