Mail-Home-Server in UMC -> User -> advanced settings

Hi@all,

I’m not sure it has anything to do with kopano. I f"ound" the setting “Mail-Home-Server” in UMC -> User -> advanced settings. NOthing is selectet here but it is possible to selct my kopano-server him self.
it is advisable to do so? What does this setting do?

The functionality behind this setting is explained in Univention Corporate Server

The management of the user data of the mail server (e.g., e-mail addresses or mailing list) is performed via Univention Management Console and is documented in Chapter 3 User data are stored in LDAP. The authentication is performed using a user’s primary e-mail address, i.e., it must be entered as the user name in mail clients. As soon as a primary e-mail address is assigned to a user in the LDAP directory, a listener module creates an IMAP mailbox on the mail home server. By specifying the mail home server, user e-mail accounts can be distributed over several mail servers, as well (see Chapter 10).

ok, thank you. In a case of single server this setting is IMHO not relevant

yes. its only relevant if you have multiple ucs systems that should be responsible for managing mailboxes.
