Admin - Email

Alias Setup

Well an identity, you can have many Thus its incredibly important

Aliases

Delivering to your mailbox is all good and grand.
But what if you want to be someone else?
Such as a service account, for example: root[at symbol]skynet.ie
Thankfully that is possible (if you are given access)

We have aliases set up for stuff like that So anyone in these groups gets mail from these addresses sent to them.
These (in our case) get sent to a subfolder in our inboxes.

Setup Online

On https://mail.skynet.ie aliases are created by default.
If you are replying to a message in one of the subfolders then it will automatically choose the correct alias.

If you are sending mail then you will need to select the account to send it from.
The from field is a dropdown where you can select the alias to send it from.

But what if we want to send mail as the service account? In Thunderbird it is relatively easy

  1. Sign into your Skynet account on Thunderbird
  2. Select Settings (bottom right)
