10Mailbox Management

Mailboxes

You can add and edit mailboxes to your B2C Service site, including Oracle-managed Service mailboxes.

Note: To ensure accurate processing of replies, inbound messages, and bounces, you must set up one mailbox for Service.

After you have created a new mailbox, you can disable it or delete it; but you cannot change any other attributes associated with the mailbox from the Configuration Assistant. If you want to change the mailbox name that is displayed to your customers, you can do so from the Service application. Mailbox configuration options available from Service include the following:

• Brand your mailbox to match your organization’s brand identity

• Define the bounce address that will be used as the return path for bounced emails

• Define the display name you want to appear on outgoing messages as the sender
