Hi, here we have users with their own personal inbox, and then several
commonly accessible mailboxes for support@ and sales@ email addresses.
The main requirement is that replies to each email go back out with the
reply address the same as the incoming (user@, support@, sales@ or
whatever). Additionally that the reply is placed in the inbox with the
incoming message (gmail style)

At the moment we manage this by getting each user to add all the
accounts to their Thunderbird instance, ie setup each as a separate
account.  Then they carefully configure each email account to set the
correct Sent Items settings, Trash settings, reply address, signature,
etc.

This is quite time consuming to setup a new user - does anyone have some
suggestions on how else we might achieve the same end result more easily?

Perhaps either Sogo has some functionality to assist with setting up
shared folders to the sales@, support@? I use Dovecot as our mailserver,
perhaps it's shared folders have some feature which can be leveraged?
The main issue I see with Thunderbird is getting the correct reply
addresses on emails and placement of the Sent messages - this appears
not to work the same for shared folders vs adding lots of accounts into
Thunderbird?  In practice we have 6-10 accounts per user..

(Perhaps someone simply has a scripted way to add accounts to Thunderbird?)


A minor benefit would also be being able to login to the web component
of Sogo and having access to all inboxes there in one go? Same also for
easier access to (what is in practice 6-10 accounts) via iPhone/Pad and
Android devices...

Thanks for any thoughts on how others solve this problem?

Regards

Ed W
