Email Templates
Email templates simplify the composition of recurring emails by saving canned messages to choose from when composing the email.
Go to Email Templates, by clicking on the New Message button you can set a new message to be saved as a default.
It is necessary to indicate:
- Name: useful for the user to identify the message among the others saved (it will not be part of the email at the time of sending)

- The subject of the message
- The body of the message
- Attachments can also be added
After saving at least one template, when composing a new email message, you can click on Email Templates and choose the message you want to send from the list displayed. Each message setting (identity, subject, text, attachments) can be changed before sending the message.
Settings Email Templates by plan
Depending on the plan you are subscribed to, you can set canned messages with the following limits:
| Basic | Professional | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of configurable email templates | 5 | 20 | 50 |
| Maximum number of attachments | 5 | 10 | 10 |
| Maximum message size (MB) | 5 | 10 | 10 |
Signatures and Identities
Set a customized signature for the different identities of your account. Each signature will automatically be added to the bottom of your new messages.
Note
Identities are generated automatically based on the domain and mailbox aliases configured for your domain. They include the primary address, the aliases and any automatic forwarding associated with the mailbox.
For each signature, you can see the display name, the identity assigned to the signature and the available actions.

You can also insert HTML code in the body of the signature to show your company logo or link to a website, for instance.
In the signature settings, you can also find an option to activate/deactivate:
- Add sender in Bcc automatically. This option is particularly useful in the management of the email of mailboxes that have active forwarding, or in the case of Email Alias or Domain Alias.
- Don't add signature to replies.
Note
If there is only one identity, the section will not be displayed and you will only need to enter the display name and signature.

The Allowed Senders list is a list of email addresses or domains that you trust and that you always want to receive messages from. These will not be analyzed by the spam filter.

The Blocked Senders list is a list of email addresses or domains that you deem to be unreliable and, therefore, believe should be blocked. Emails coming from these email addresses will always be rejected by the spam filter.
