Personalizing Your Webmail Experience

We believe your inbox should work exactly the way you do. While your administrator can set global defaults (like timezone and date formats) from the Admin Panel -> Settings -> Localization, you have full control over your personal "Look & Feel" directly within the Webmail interface.

Find out how to subscribe to a Folder to make it show in your e-mail folder list, how to unsubscribe from a Folder and hide it or how to create a new folder.

Step-by-step guide

Subscribe to a Folder

Subscribing to a folder will make it show in your e-mail folder list (usually on the left side of your Webmail or e-mail client). Some e-mail clients will show by default all folders, even the unsubscribed ones.

Unsubscribe from a Folder

Unsubscribing from a folder will hide it from your e-mail folder list (usually on the left side of your Webmail or e-mail client). Some e-mail clients will show by default all folders, even the unsubscribed ones.

Webmail - Send as Alias

When you have one or more Aliases for your email address, you might want to be able to send from one of the Aliases. This is possible by adding the Alias to your Webmail.

Step-by-step guide

You must create the Alias before adding it to the Webmail.

After you log in to your Webmail,

Webmail - Signature: create, load and set one as default

When you want to end your emails with a custom greeting or add your company info and logo, you can add a default signature in your GroupOffice webmail.

Step-by-step guide

CalDAV / CardDAV allow delete via Synchronization

The CalDAV / CardDAV features are available only for Enhanced mailboxes.

Due to a bug in Android 12 some phones started to delete contacts via Microsoft ActiveSync. Therefore, GroupOffice has implemented a new CalDAV / CardDAV setting that disallows deletes via sync by default now. More info on the bug can be found here: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-z-fold-z-flip/outlook-contacts-gone-after-android-12-update/td-p/4567744/page/2.

Because this option is disabled by default, you might now receive this error in your CalDAV / CardDAV client:

Deleting is disabled by user sync settings

To enable delete via synchronization:

Webmail - mark email as Spam or block a sender

Sometimes you might receive unsolicited emails that you wish to mark as Spam. You can do so straight from the Webmail interface. Our system will be trained to mark future emails from this sender as Spam, and all such emails will be delivered to your Spam folder.

If you wish to block a sender completely, you can further use the option to Blacklist it, and all incoming emails from that sender will be rejected.

Mark email as Spam

After you log in to your Webmail:

     Webmail - move to Spam.jpg

 

Block a sender

After you log in to your Webmail:

     Webmail - blacklist a sender.jpg

Webmail - mark email as legit (Not Spam)

If our system has marked an incoming email as Spam, but you are sure it is a legit email, you can whitelist the sender straight from the Webmail.

Mark email as legit (Not Spam)

After you log in to your Webmail:

     Webmail - not Spam - mark email as legit.jpg

If you have whitelisted a sender, but incoming emails are still delivered to your Spam folder, make sure there is no Blacklist entry for this sender or domain.

Webmail - Files and Folder Sharing Guide

Whether you need to send a single document or collaborate on an entire project, sharing is simple and flexible. You have two main options:

The Webmail allows you to share folders with other members of your organization, enabling seamless collaboration. With the latest updates, you have precise control over how you distribute your work, whether collaborating internally or sharing documents externally.

Document Editing and Collaboration

The ability to interact with documents depends on your active mailbox type.

  • Basic Mailboxes: Users can only upload and view documents.

  • Enhanced Mailboxes: Users can edit and collaborate on documents in real-time.

The live editing environment is powered by the OnlyOffice integration. Supported formats include Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs.

Sharing Folders

Folder sharing is restricted to internal use only, meaning you can only share folders with users within your domain.

How to Share a Folder

Follow these steps to activate sharing for a specific folder within your Webmail:

  1. Select the Folder: In the Webmail files section, right-click on the folder you wish to share and select Properties.

    Webmail - files - click on properties.PNG

  2. Activate Sharing: In the Properties tab, check the box labeled Activate sharing. This enables the sharing functionality for that specific directory.

    Webmail - files - click on activate sharing.PNG

  3. Configure Notifications (Optional): You may also choose to:

    • Notify me about changes in this folder: Receive alerts when others modify files.

    • Apply the folder's display settings for everyone: Standardize the view for all collaborators.

  4. Save Changes: Click Apply or Save.

Managing Permissions

Once sharing is active, you can define exactly who has access and what level of control they have.

  1. Navigate to the Permissions tab within the Properties window.

  2. Add Members: Click the plus (+) icon to add new users or groups to the folder. The default permission for new users is read-only.

    Group sharing: you also have the optional choice to share the folder with everyone in your group for faster onboarding

  3. Change Access Levels: Double-click the permission level next to a user name to change it.

    Webmail-enable-share-for-folder-step-4-double-click-permission-name-to-change.png

    • Read only: Users can view and download files but cannot make changes.

    • Read and Create only: Users can view files and upload new content but cannot delete or modify existing files.

    • Write: view, upload or edit existing files.
    • Write and delete: view, upload, edit or delete existing files.
    • Manage: Full access to view, upload, edit, delete and share content.

  4. Remove Access: To stop sharing with a specific user, select their name and click the trash icon.

  5. Finalize: Click Save to apply the permissions.

Accessing Shared Content

When a folder is shared with you, it will appear under the Shared section in your file navigation sidebar. This allows teams to maintain a central repository for shared documents, images, and project files.

Webmail-view-folders-shared-with-me.png

Sharing Files

You can share individual files with internal or external collaborators by creating secure, time-limited download links.

Please use caution when sharing the URL, as anyone with the link can access the file.

Creating a Secure Download Link

    View in browser: Users can view the document online (read-only).
    View and edit collaboratively: Multiple users can view and edit simultaneously. Each user verifies their email and appears with their name.
