Create a new mailbox

Create mailbox

If you would like to set up a new email mailbox, please first open the email administration under: Tools >> Settings >> Basic Settings >> email tab

To create a mailbox, you must already have a domain (@example.de) with onOffice. This is then available for creating the new mailbox. Enter the desired name of the mailbox in the field provided and click on “Create”.

If you do not yet have a domain with onOffice or would like to switch your domain to onOffice, please contact your sales representative.

Configure mailbox

Now the created mailbox appears in the list with the possibly created mailboxes. As soon as you click on the name of the mailbox, you get the detail view where you can configure the mailbox. For example, you can store an out-of-office note or deactivate the mailbox.

You can add and removeusers for the mailbox via “Assigned users”.

Mailbox active

If you uncheck the “Mailbox active” box, no more emails will be delivered to this mailbox after a short period of up to 30 minutes. It is still possible to send emails.

Set email name for mailbox

An email name can be assigned to a mailbox, which is displayed to the recipient in addition to the email address:

If an email name has been assigned, note that the setting for the email name from the user’s basic data is no longer used for the mailbox.

You can find a training video Define email names here.

VIP mailbox

The “VIP mailboxes” module is not automatically activated in all customer versions. If you want to use this module, please contact your account manager.

The “VIP” setting for a mailbox specifies that the activities and broker log entries generated by the emails can only be viewed by users who are also assigned to the sending or receiving mailbox. The time of writing/reading is decisive here. Users who are subsequently assigned to the mailbox cannot read previous activities and broker log entries – and vice versa: Users whose assignment to the mailbox has been removed will still be able to read the previous activities and agents’ log entries.
Without this setting, the visibility of these entries is controlled by the normal agents’ log and activity rights .

Send access data

If you want to set up your email address in Outlook or on your smartphone, you can have the required data sent to the selected email address via the Send access data item.

Import the mailbox into Outlook / Smartphones

If you want to access the mailbox with another software (e.g. in Outlook), you will need the password and the user name in addition to the servers listed below to set it up.

  • With onOffice, the user name is always the same as the entire email address.
  • The password is displayed when you click on “Show password”.
  • Incoming email server: pop3.onoffice.de / imap.onoffice.de
  • Outgoing email server: smtp.onoffice.de

There is also the possibility to generate a new password for the corresponding mailbox. To do this, simply click on “Generate new password”. The old password becomes invalid.
