# Groupware Email Settings

**Groupware Email Settings** refers to the server-side configuration interface provided by the university's Groupware platform. Unlike client-side settings (configured in software like [[mozilla-thunderbird]] or [[microsoft-outlook]]), these settings are applied at the server level and affect all email access methods.

## Identity Management
Users can customize their public-facing identity in the **Properties** (Eigenschaften) tab:
- **Display Name and Address**: Users can define the specific name and email address that recipients see.
- **Professional Signatures**: A centralized signature can be defined to ensure institutional consistency (e.g., including office hours and department names).

## Account Flexibility
- **Email Aliases**: Users with multiple authorized addresses can add them as aliases. This allows the user to choose a specific "From" address depending on the context of the communication.

## Server-Side Automation
The **Rules** (Regeln) tab allows for the creation of logic-based triggers that operate independently of any installed email client:
- **Out-of-Office Replies**: Automated responses for periods of absence.
- **Forwarding**: Redirecting incoming mail to another address.

## Interface Access
| Platform | Navigation Path |
|---|---|
| **Desktop** | Right-click Email Account $\rightarrow$ Properties |
| **Mobile** | Menu ($\vdots$) $\rightarrow$ Settings $\rightarrow$ Account $\rightarrow$ Menu ($\vdots$) |
