IntroductionEmail is used by the Hornbill applications in various processes. For example, Service Manager within Incident management it can be used to both receive requests to create a call or to communicate progress or resolution of a request. Your new Hornbill instance is equipped with a default mailbox (helpdesk) which has an inbound service and email address already configured. This can be used to get up and running more quickly. To begin using the default mailbox a new Security Role must be created. Before creating a new role for use with your shared mailbox, we recommend reading general information on the Hornbill Roles, please see the Roles wiki page. |
