Whats a mail-in database and how do I access it?
A mail-in database is a mail account that can be used by departments or organizations that wish to have a common email address that can have mail be read and sent by more than one employee. For example a mail in database could be created with the name “department_inquiries” with the email address department_inquiries@yorku.ca. Anyone could send email to this address, and any specified employees of the department can be given access to access the mail in database. You access a mail-in database the same way you access another users mail database. Open the Mail view. Click on the twistie beside Mail and select Open Another Person’s Mail. You will only be able to access the mail in database if you have been granted access. To obtain access to a mail-in database or to set up a mail in database send an request to accounts@yorku.ca.
