Hi, is there a way to change the reply address for a mailbox in Sogo?  Basically, I created some mailboxes using the format firstname@mydomain.com and people started receiving emails.  Now they want it in the format of firstname.lastname@mydomain.com.

In exchange server you can just add aliases for a mailbox and set the default reply-to address.  I see you can add aliases for a mailbox vi MySQL commands or the iredadmin pro version but is there a way to set one of the aliases as the reply address?

Thanks,
S

This should be done by the MUA (SOGo, Outlook, Thunderbird, ...), not in SQL database.

With SOGo, you can edit it on the web UI: Preferences -> Mail -> Edit your mail account -> Reply-To Email.

When you've only got the localhost IMAP account listed in the web UI, it won't allow you to modify the reply-to email address.  That's what I want to change.  Is there any other way to change it or is that just a limitation of the web UI?

You can find parameter "SOGoMailCustomFromEnabled = NO;" in sogo config file (sogo.conf), set its value to YES will allow you to customize the from address.

WARNING: it's a global setting, and all users are able to customize it. It's possible that some user may set it to a different user to send phish email or spams. you have been warned. smile
