Summary

Currently, VMs can only send email from the gmail address used to sign up with exe.dev. Users should be able to configure multiple email addresses for VMs to use when sending email.

Proposed Solution

Implement a profile feature that allows users to:

1. Maintain a list of verified email addresses
2. Add new emails to the list by validating them
3. Add comments/notes to each email for reference (e.g., "git commits email", "work email")
4. Allow VMs to send email from any of these verified addresses

Context

From skybrian2:

I see that Shelley gets the gmail address that I used to sign up with exe.dev, which is okayish but what if I want to give it a different email? I'd rather give it the email that I use for all my git commits.

Workaround

Currently, there is a workaround: Invite an email address and then accept and visit the VM with that email address. After that, you'll be able to send email from that address in the VM.
