Private inboxes
Your own mail, in a mailbox only you can open. Not even administrators can read it, and it sits beside the team’s shared inboxes in the same app, with the same views.
What it does
Yours alone
Only you can read it
Nobody else can open it. The database enforces that, not just the screen.
Administrators see that it exists
They see whose it is and whether it is connected, never its mail or its settings.
Your Inbox, in one place
Your Inbox shows your private mail along with what is assigned to you from the shared inboxes.
Share it later
Share it with everyone or one team. Old mail goes too, and only an administrator can make it private again.
How it works
Private from the start
- 1
Add your address
Open Settings › Mailboxes and choose Add a mailbox. What a member adds is always private to them.
- 2
Keep it yours
Members never see the Who can see it step, because theirs are always private. Administrators choose Only me there.
- 3
Use it like any other
Search, label, snooze and reply as usual. A colleague’s search never finds it.
Good to know
The details
- Who can use it
- Everyone, members and administrators alike, can add a private mailbox of their own.
- Where
- Settings › Mailboxes, and under Private inboxes in the sidebar.
- When someone leaves
- Their private mailboxes are deleted with their mail in DMU Mail. Mail at the provider is not touched.
- Moving mail in
- Moving shared mail into a private mailbox is a permission, for administrators by default. Each move is recorded in Activity.
