Creating inboxes

-
Select inbox channel
You can create an email inbox either via email forwarding or via POP. If you hold Microsoft accounts, you can connect them easily via oauth verification. Select your channel, fill in the information and click Next.
-
Associate sender address
To send out emails from your inbox, you should associate sender addresses. You can associate the source address and other addresses also. Select from the list of sender addresses added to your organization or create new.
Note that you cannot send out emails unless you associate a sender address with your inbox.
We highly recommend that you use the source address of your inbox as its sender address. If you're adding other addresses as your sender address, and using it while composing an email, we suggest that you CC your source email address. This will ensure that the replies made by your recipients are received in this inbox, provided they've hit 'Reply-all'.

- Admin
The permissions given to these roles are as follows:
Observer

Member
- Compose message, save message as draft, forward message and reply in a thread
- View threads
- Assign, follow, archive and thrash threads
- Mark email as spam

In addition to the activities a member can perform in an inbox, admins can Delete a thread permanently.
