Genesys Email enables you to create and configure inbound and outbound mailboxes for your contact center through Digital Management in the Contact Center Settings section.

Email Mailboxes

The Email Mailboxes sub-section displays all configured mailboxes for your contact center. The mailbox table will be empty if there are no mailboxes configured.

Select a mailbox in this view to see its details displayed on the right-hand side of the page.

You can also filter this view by Inbound and Outbound mailboxes, as well as search for mailboxes.

Add or edit a mailbox

To create a new mailbox, select either Inbound or Outbound from the Add Mailbox menu. A mailbox is created in a disabled state.

Once enabled, the selection box beside the mailbox will turn red, and the mailbox cannot be deleted until it is disabled again.

Note: Only one outbound mailbox is permitted at this time.

To edit a mailbox, select the mailbox you wish to edit and click the Edit button at the top of the page.

Use the following table for advice on how to fill in the mailbox creation/edit modal fields:
