Mailbox permissions for each role

Email works like channels: a row for each type (Gmail, Outlook and IMAP), and four actions. Link employees to a shared mailbox so they see its unlinked email.

Each mailbox has a list of members who work in it, and one linked unit. That list is what lets “If responsible” and “Team-wide access” see unlinked email. See Email in Corteksa: connect a mailbox and follow client email.

Good to know

3 types: Gmail, Outlook / Microsoft 365, and IMAP / SMTP. Connecting an Outlook / Microsoft 365 mailbox isn’t available yet, so Outlook is connected as IMAP and follows that row. Connecting an Outlook / Microsoft 365 mailbox isn’t available yet, so Outlook is connected as IMAP and follows that row.
Create is only Allowed or Denied.
When this matrix launched, the old permissions were carried over without any role losing access.
