Mailboxes - How to setup and manage

Mailboxes in RedRabbit are used to send and receive Email correspondence associated with the management of Inspections and Maintenance. What you need to know about RedRabbit mailboxes:

• RedRabbit mailboxes are managed by RedRabbit and not by your normal Email service provider
• You can have up to 20 mailboxes
• a Default Mailbox will be created by the system initially.
• The Email addresses for these Mailboxes take the form (custom_text@propertyupdate.zone). You can select any custom text provided that has not been taken already.
• When any Email is sent from within RedRabbit or when you reply to an Email that was received as an incoming Email in RedRabbit, the corresponding outgoing Email will come from the default Mailbox that has been set up on the User Profile of the user who initiated the email send the request.
• You can apply for a white label domain for your company if you do not want to use the @propertyupdate.zone domain. This is, however, a premium service and we will provide you with a quote to provide this service.
