First, select the user, who will be the owner of the mailbox. Each user may have several mailboxes at the same time. One mailbox is always primary (used first when sending new e-mail from Atollon).

Edit Mailbox Settings

There are the following Mailbox options that you should fill-in:
  1. E-mail name is the identification of Mailbox in the system and primary Mailbox name in the same time. This is the part that will be before "@".
  2. Domain is the mail server identification. This is the part that will be after"@".
  3. Identity is the default Mailbox owner's identity, when sending e-mails. Be careful, when changing this field and keep suggested syntax emailName@domain.
  4. Store messages to: you have option either to distribute new e-mail to user's individual message folder (To Do) or select any folder or project from contexts.
  5. Active (Yes/No): indicates whether Atollon receives mail on this address or not.
  6. Default box (Yes/No): indicates, whether this Mailbox is used first when sending new E-mail by the owner.
  7. Signature: fill-in owner's signature.
  8. Aliases: you can add more names to this Mailbox. Please note that Alias must not have the same name as some other existing Mailbox. Aliases are used only for receiving emails. You need to create new mailbox if you want to send mails with some other name. Aliases are always in same domain as the mailbox they are specified in. Do not write "@domain" part here.
Mailbox Advanced Options
  • Auto - respond settings = it allows you to enable and set up automatic response when out-of office or unavailable

After you are ready, press Ok to save your mailbox settings. If Domain MX records are properly set, you should soon be able to receive new Mail.
