Account delegation

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

188-
The app allows account delegation so that one user can send emails from the address of another.
188+
The app supports two ways of letting one user act on behalf of another's mail account.

Sending as another address (server alias)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This lets you send emails from the address of another account.

1) The delegation has to be configured on the mail server by an admin

2) Add the other email address as an alias for your own email account

Native account delegation
202+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
203+
204+
.. versionadded:: 5.9 Nextcloud Mail
205+
206+
Native account delegation lets you grant other Nextcloud users access to one of your mail accounts directly from the
207+
app, without any server-side alias configuration. A delegate can do everything the account owner can — send, receive,
208+
and delete mail on your behalf — except deleting the account or updating its authentication information.
209+
210+
To delegate one of your accounts:
211+
212+
1) Open the account's three-dot menu and select **Delegate account**
213+
2) In the **Delegation** dialog, click **Add delegate**
214+
3) Use the **Select a user** field to choose the Nextcloud user you want to grant access to
215+
4) Confirm with **Delegate access**
216+
217+
The shared account then appears in the delegate's account list, marked as delegated.
218+
219+
To remove access:
220+
221+
1) Open the **Delegate account** dialog again
222+
2) Click **Revoke** next to the delegate you want to remove
223+
3) Confirm with **Revoke access**
224+
225+
.. note:: Provisioned accounts cannot be delegated.
