E-mail settings tab

 On the E-mail settings tab in the Properties window, you can create and configure one or more e-mail accounts for a user.

Creating and editing an e-mail account

E-mail accounts can be created by users in the Desktop Client if they have been the rights to do so in the Management Console.

If e-mail accounts can be created by users, then the settings for this overwrite each other in the Management Console and in the Desktop Client. The last setting always applies.

The same functions are used in both the Management Console and in the Desktop Client, to find out more, see the help pages of the Desktop Client.
