How to Set Up Automatic Envelope Delegation

Automatically forward incoming envelopes from your mailbox to a delegate mailbox, and review key limitations.

Use automatic delegation when another mailbox should handle your incoming envelopes for a period of time.

This is useful during vacation, sick leave, or any period when you cannot process envelopes yourself.

Set up automatic delegation

1. Open User profile → Forwarding Tab.

2. Enter the delegate mailbox by name, UUID, alias, or email.

   • Optional: set Effective until to stop forwarding automatically.

3. Enable Active forwarding.

4. Click the button.

Notes and limitations

The Forwarding section appears only for mailboxes with delegation permission.

• Envelopes with restricted delegation are not forwarded and still arrive in your mailbox.

• If the selected delegate already has access to the current role, auto-delegation does not apply.
