How to Configure a Custom Support Mail Server

    • Microsoft

    • Custom

  2. Sign in to Google or Microsoft

    • You'll be redirected to the respective sign-in screen.

    • Complete the sign-in process as prompted.

  3. Customize Display Name
    After signing in, customize your display name to suit your preference:

    • Use your Company Name.

    • Use Technician Name.

    • Set a Custom Name.

  4. Set Default Boards
    Under the "Select Boards" section, you can assign default boards for each email account.

  5. Set as Primary Email (Optional)
    You can make this email the primary support email by enabling the "Primary Email" option.

That's it! Your support mail server is now configured.

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.
