Setting different owner for the files

Preventing the inactive user from receiving e-mails

Incoming e-mail for the inactive user is delivered to the owner of this user. Prevent this as follows:

1. Remove the e-mail settings of the user.

2. Change the username, e.g. from John to John_removed. This prevents e-mails directed to john@example.mail.carerix.net from arriving.

3. Ask the Administrator of your e-mailserver to shut down the mailbox of this user and set an alias/redirect the messages to a colleague that adopt the function.

Reactivating the user

1. Click 'Management' - 'Users'.

2. Click the "Inactive users" tab.

3. Click the specific user.

4. Check the "Active" option.
