One User with multiple addresses

[eddyedfred]

Hi,

my question sounds perhaps a little bit stupid, but i didn't find a solution yet.

In this scenario one user owns multiple addresses. Perhaps the user peter got the addresses info@, peter@ and sales@.
Now it should be possible to send mails from this one user account with these multiple sender addresses. For example peter wants to send the newsletter he sends it with the sender address info@, but for personal stuff he would use peter@.

Is there a way in scalix to do this?

Thanks a lot for responses!

open sac, select that user and change his default email address, keep all 3 or how evey many but 1 of them will be the default.

open email client send your message then off you go. This allows them to one email box.

You could set them up to have multiple email boxes and open windows to each to send from each. have forwarding rules to get mail forwarded to one mailbox if you want.

Don't think its that easy via outlook,

but as a thurderbird client it may be easier.

You either need to use delegation (SWA and Outlook) or a IMAP client that can switch between addresses.

so i need to set up a premium user for each mail address?
That means in the end, i created a premium user for each mail address i will use? isn't there a possibility to set up outlook like thunderbird, beacause i want to use a common address database within outlook. and with thunderbird it is not possible to access the database that is set up as a public folder via ldap.

Outlook can act as a IMAP client, but then it will only give you IMAP-type access, similar to Thunderbird. Select IMAP instead of Scalix Connect when creating the profile. Otherwise, in MAPI mode it cannot be done in 11.3.0.

yeah! i got this working. i can send now with imap from multiple sender addresses. but when i use outlook as imap client, how can i access the global addressbook that i configured?

i need to have access to the mailaddresses. is there a way?

the problem with delegation is, that i just use the community edition 11.2. so there are just 25 premium users. that's not enough to set up for every mail address a premium user.

any ideas?

Unfortunately not, as far as I am aware. The Public Folders are only available to Premium users. IMAP users can access it, but IMAP clients do not understand MAPI-like address books, they are simply mail clients. They can only retrieve address books via LDAP. The Scalix LDAP daemon only serves out the Global Address List (SYSTEM address book) and the local contacts in the user's folder.

thanks for your replies, but i'm really not happy. what my company wants is to send with multiple sender addresses and access a global address book. i thought this is a usual need of companies. perhaps it's not.

or is anybody here who got a good solution for this aim? i'm a little bit dispaired with it.
