To specify a different email address of the email sender, add a new profile to the current account. After that, when creating an email, the sender's address will be selected from the list of profiles in the address block: In some cases, a user may need to send emails from different addresses within the same account. For example, this may be useful in the following situations: •Obtaining additional privacy •Configuring the reception of messages of a certain subject •Sorting of incoming messages by definite characteristics (mailing lists, news from companies) •Possibility to send messages not from the main address For this purpose, you can use mail aliases. Aliases are additional mail addresses linked to the user's mail account. The aliases are added by the system administrator and sent to the user through an email message with the following content: The administrator has added an additional email for you: The list of available aliases is not displayed in the user's profile settings, but can be used when sending messages. If a user has additional aliases in addition to the primary address, they are displayed in the drop-down list of the From field. Several accounts containing aliases are separated by a horizontal line. More information about aliases: •To use aliases, log in to the application using the password and username of the main account. •Messages received simultaneously to the main and aliases addresses are displayed as one message in the Inbox folder. •If a user sends an email from an alias, the mail address belonging to the alias will be indicated as the sender. •Account avatar will be used as an avatar. •Profiles created for the main account are used for aliases. |

Copies In addition to the main recipients, the email can also be sent to other recipients. In this case, additional recipients are indicated in the CC field. The recipients in the copies receive an email for information and are invited participants in the discussion. Enter the email address(s) of the user(s) to whom the copy of the email is intended in the CC field. The field is filled in the same way as the To field. Hidden copies (BCC) The recipient(s) specified in this field will also receive the email, but the remaining members of the discussion (that is, the recipients specified in the To and CC fields) will not be notified on the fact that the email has been sent to this person (the information about the recipient(s) in the BCC field is not displayed in the list of recipients of the email). Hidden (BCC) copies are usually used in mass mailing so that all other recipients cannot find information about your other contacts. Enter the address or the addresses of the user(s) to whom the email should be sent in the BCC field. The field is filled in the same way as the To field. |
The Subject field briefly describes the content of the email. The subject makes it easier to process emails, as it is visible before opening the email along with the date and sender. The subject is entered manually using the keyboard. Users can use any subject of their choice. |
