  • Identity: select the address from which you want the template message to be sent. If a signature has been set for the selected identity, this will be automatically added at the end of the message
  • 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.

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

Set a customized signature for the different identities of your account. Each signature will automatically be added to the bottom of your new messages.

Identities are composed by default based on the settings of the email aliases and alias domains belonging to your domain.

With each signature, you will be able to check the displayed name, the identity that the signature is associated with and the actions that you can perform on each signature as shown below.

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:

  • Set sender as default, in case you have multiple identities;
  • 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.

If there is only one identity, the section will not be displayed and you will only need to enter the display name and signature.
