Hello team, I set up password for postmaster and also set up account for postmaster in Thunderbird. so I can send/receive emails.
1) I try to set up postmaster as IMAP type, but I can not. I Only can set it as POP3 type.
2) I did test on postmaster account after set up in thunderbird. it seems that I can send out emails fine.
3) I also send email to postmaster account from my other accounts, but the email went to admin email address?
fyi- I have 4 other email accounts(include admin) in thunderbird. all of them are working perfectly. I only added password for postmaster account and did not change nothing. I sent a email to postmaster email address, but it is show up in admin email account. how can this happen? Admin email account has different password than postmaster account.
please help!! thank you
"postmaster" is a pre-defined role in Mercury, that should be assigned to a specific mailbox, usually "admin". To access a mailbox with IMAP you need to activate the MercuryI module (IMAP server). IMAP uses the same password as POP3.
Rolf, thank you!
1) I did set up IMAP server. All other users(include admin) are using IMAP setting.
2) currently, if I sent email to postmast . it will arrive at admin email account.
If I send emails from postmaster account, it is working perfectly.
I guess that I should not use postmaster account for communication. I really just want to set up password for postmaster. All other user accounts are working fine (set up as IMAP).
thank you
postmaster is a kind of built-in alias that should be connected to a specific account. The setting for this can be found in Configuration / Mercury core module / General / Username of postmaster. It defaults to Admin. The postmaster address can be used as sender or recipient, but incoming mail will be delivered to the associated account.
