The required access data
Before you start to set up an import, please make sure that you have the following data available:
- E-mail address
- User
- name Password / password

mail server The host of your e-mail address makes this data available to you.
If you want to import a POP 3 mailbox Select the tab “onOffice mailboxes/ external POP3 mailboxes” on the tab “E-Mail”. Here you have the possibility to create a new e-mail or to import your existing addresses. If you want to import an e-mail address, enter it in the field under POP3 Import.
Then click on the “Import mailbox” button.
Please enter the requested data in this mask. As soon as you have entered the data, you can use the “Test” button to check whether a connection to the original mailbox can be established with this data. If this fails, please check the entered data for correctness.
Encryption
If your e-mail provider does not tell you which encryption to choose, you can choose between two different encryption methods:
- SSL encryption
- TLS
encryption Delete
e-mails on retrieval Here you can set whether the e-mails should be deleted on the server or whether this should only be done after a certain period of time.
If you are not sure whether you still need your e-mails on your server, please click on “No” to prevent deletion.
Assign a user to the mailbox
In order to have access to the mailbox in onOffice, it must still be assigned to a user. To the right of the P.O. box two people are depicted. If you click on the person with the “+” symbol, you will be given the opportunity to select a user. Then click on the floppy disk to save the assignment.
Now the mailbox is available for the selected users.
