Create an institutional account for sending e-mail (EDT Network)
Table of Contents
1. Create an institution account (EDT Network)
An institutional account is an account shared between several users. To enable users to send e-mail from a non-personal address (for example, the secretariat's e-mail address), it is necessary to create an institutional account and specify the users authorized to send e-mail from this account. This operation must be undertaken by an administrator.
- Go to the menu Configuration > Configure the sending of e-mail for this workstation.
- Click on the button
on the left of Institution's accounts. - The creation assistant is launched: enter a name for the account and the e-mail address to be used (this address and the corresponding mailbox must of course already exist), then click on Next.
- A code is then automatically sent to the indicated e-mail address. Enter this code in step 3, then click on Next.
- Secure your account with a secret question/answer, then click on Next.
- The creation of the account is now complete. Click on Close.
- Select the account you've created in the top left-hand corner and right-click on Add the staff/teachers. In the pop-up window, tick the people who can use this account to send e-mails, then validate.
2. Create a personal account
A personal account is a nominative account, used by only one user. All users can set up their own personal account, even when linked to an institutional account.
- Go to the menu Configuration > Configure the sending of e-mail for this workstation.
- Click on the button
to the left of Personal accounts. - The assistant starts: enter a name for the account and indicate the e-mail address to use (this address and the corresponding messaging system must of course already exist), then click on Next.
- A code is then automatically sent to the specified e-mail address. Enter this code in step 3 and click on Next.
- Protect your account with a secret question/answer, then click on Next.
- Account creation is complete. Click on Close.
3. Manage e-mail accounts
In the menu Configuration > Configure the sending of e-mail for this workstation, each user then indicates the account they wish to use.
If an institutional account has been created and you are eligible to use it, or if you have two person accounts, from the drop-down menu select the account to be used by default.
When sending an e-mail, you can always change on the fly which account to use.
