"Email subaddresses", or "plus adressing" also on email **alias**
Completed
As a server administrator I would like cPanel to expand email sub-addressing to email aliases, allowing me to define sub-addresses on email aliases that would then deliver to folders on the forwarded address. For example:
If
my.alias@domain.com
is an alias of
real.address@domain.com
then
my.alias+folder@domain.com
should deliver to
real.address+folder@domain.com
I like this idea

One quick adjustment to this update: The feature is not included as described here. The current implementation instead delivers mail for my.alias+folder@domain.com to real.address@domain.com. Since that's not what was asked for, I've taken this out of completed and moved it back to open discussion. If you have any questions, let me know!

In fact delivering my.alias+folder@domain.com to real.address@domain.com is a better solution as delivering my.alias+folder@domain.com to real.address+folder@domain.com
Delivering directly in the real.address@domain.com is also how works gmail with the "plus addressing".
It also avoid that a malicious sender could create on the fly lots of IMAP folders just by sending mail to a mailbox !
If needed to store in an IMAP folder the user can always create a filter rule.
So I think that delivering
my.alias+folder@domain.com to real.address@domain.com
is OK, if the "plus addressing" for real mailboxes works also works on the same way, so
real.address+something@domain.com should go to real.address@domain.com
