Managing identities

To manage identities, go to user settings:

Then go to Mail > Identities tab.

By default, you are assigned an identity which includes your email address and user name (first and last name).
The identity's signature has a name but no content.

• To add a new identity, click "Add identity" at the bottom of the list
• To edit an identity, click "Update" at the end of the corresponding row.

This opens the following dialog box:

• Sender name is the name that will appear in the messages you send.
• Le label de la signature sert à la distinguer dans la liste des identités, une même adresse et un même nom d'affichage pouvant être utilisés dans plusieurs identitésThe signature name is designed to identify it in the list of identities as one same address and one same name displayed can be used for several identities. 

• You can choose among all the email addresses assigned to you or shared with you: domain aliases, shared mailboxes, etc.
  

  Astuce
  When you check the box "Use an external e-mail", you can create an identity for a non-BlueMind address. For this option to be available, the administrator must grant you the "Mail > External identity" role. To find out more about assigning rights, go to the page Guide de l'administrateur > Administration des utilisateurs

• Choose a format (HTML or plain text) and input the signature contents.
• La case « Utiliser le dossier "Messages envoyés" de "<identifiant>" » permet de forcer l'utilisation du dossier envoyés du compte (utilisateur ou boîte partagée) correspondant à l'adresse email sélectionnée dans le champs "Courriel". Si cette case n'est pas cochée, c'est le dossier des messages envoyés par défaut de l'utilisateur qui sera utiliséeThe box  "use the 'Sent' folder of "<userID>" to store sent messages forces the use of the account's sent folder (user or shared mailbox) corresponding to the email address selected in the "Email" box. If this box isn't checked, the user's default sent messages folder will be used.

Identities and shared mailboxes

When you have editing and management rights to a shared mailbox, you can create an identity to use this mailbox as the message sender.

To do this, go to the "Identities" tab (see "managing identities" above):

• Click "Add an identity".
• Enter a Sender name.
• Select the shared mailbox address from the list of available email addresses.
• The shared mailbox signature information is inserted automatically.

• This information is as entered by your administrator in the shared mailbox's default identity.

  Info
  If a shared mailbox has several email addresses, they all appear in the list of available addresses but only the mailbox's default identity information will be inserted, whether an identity corresponding to this address exists in the shared mailbox configuration or not.

• Choisir le dossier à utiliser pour le stockage des messages envoyés : cocher la case pour utiliser le dossier de la boîte partagée ou la laisser décochée pour utiliser le dossier par défaut de l'utilisateur
• Select the folder to be used for sent messages: check the box to use the shared mailbox or leave it unchecked to use the user's default folder.
