Configure email forwarding in Microsoft 365

Email forwarding lets you forward email messages sent to a user's mailbox to another user's mailbox inside or outside of your organisation.

  1. In the admin center, go to the Users > Active users page.

  2. Select the name of the user whose email you want to forward and select the Mail tab.

  3. Select Manage email forwarding.

  4. On the email forwarding page, select Forward all emails sent to this mailbox. Enter the forwarding address as DeskDay support mail, and choose whether you want to keep a copy of forwarded emails. If you don't see this option, make sure a license is assigned to the user account.

  5. Select Save changes.

    (NB: Please make sure that "Authenticated SMTP" is checked from the Manage email apps section)


Adding Customer Domain

By including the customer's domain within their account details, any emails sent by users from that domain will automatically add those users to the recipient list. Simplify user management effortlessly with this seamless integration.

Note:
The Mailbox Name setting is intended to control the display name that users see in communications such as ticket notifications, announcements, invoices, reminders, and reports.

Here’s how it works:

  • If Company Name is set as primary mailbox name, your configured company name will appear as the display name in all communications.

  • If Technician Name is set as primary mailbox name, only ticket notifications will use the technician’s name, while all other communications will default to the company name.

  • If Custom Name is set (e.g., "Intrepitek Supportdesk" as primary mailbox name), that name will appear in all communications.

For chat communications on tickets, the display name will show the resource name (technician) who sent the message.

For mail tickets, all replies will use the display name from the mailbox that received the original email, rather than the primary mailbox.

For onboarding emails (e.g., activation, password reset, account lock) will always use your company name.
