# How to Control Mailbox Visibility

You can choose to hide your mailbox from other DocStudio accounts, making it harder to find by name. By default, all mailboxes are hidden, but your account admin can change this at any time

{% hint style="info" %}
Only a user with administrative rights in the account can change these settings
{% endhint %}

### Hide or show a mailbox

1. Open **Menu** in the top-right corner.
2. Click **Admin panel**.
3. Open **Mailboxes**.
4. Find the mailbox you want to update.
5. Click **Settings**.
6. Enable or disable **Hide name/alias from other accounts**.

If the toggle is **enabled**, the mailbox is **visible**. If the toggle is **disabled**, the mailbox is **hidden**.

### Send a document to a hidden mailbox

If you cannot find a mailbox by name, use one of these options:

* Use your counterparty's email address.
* Send an envelope using the mailbox UUID.
* Add the partner's hidden mailbox to your contacts.

### Send by email

1. Start creating an envelope.
2. Enter the recipient email address.

If the recipient has a default mailbox, routing is automatic. If not, the recipient must accept the envelope.

### Send by mailbox UUID

{% hint style="info" %}
The **mailbox UUID** is a unique identifier for a mailbox in DocStudio.
{% endhint %}

Enter the recipient mailbox UUID in the recipient field. You can copy it from previous envelopes.

{% hint style="info" %}
This works even if the mailbox is hidden.
{% endhint %}

### Add a hidden mailbox to your contacts

Add the mailbox to your contacts first.
