Dualog Business Mail - Configuring IMAP Folder Sharing

Introduction

IMAP folder sharing has been reintroduced in Dualog Connection Suite version 3.10.

A shared folder provides authorized stationary accounts or user groups onboard a vessel with read and write access to all emails within that folder.

This article guides you through the process of configuring access to shared email folders.

It is important to ensure that the “IMAP Folders” permission is set to write access for the user group responsible for onboard configuration (within CS Group Settings).

Configuring a new shared folder

1. Login to the ship Dualog Connection Suite onboard the vessel with the account you would like to share folders from.
2. Click on the menu located on the top-left corner > Select "Mail Folder Sharing"

3. On the Mail Folder Sharing page, you will see a list of all your personal folders. You can expand each folder to manage sharing settings and define access levels.

4. To share a folder:

5. Select the folder you want to share
6. Click Share Access
   
7. Specify the CS Group or CS Account, along with the available options and access types

9. The newly created shared access will now be visible on the Mail Folder Sharing page.

10. You can remove shared access to a folder at any time by clicking the Trash bin icon.
