A user changed company. So I kept his account and enabled an auto-reply asking to change their email reference.
After 3 months people is still sending email to this account.
So I'd like to disable it from receiving emails.
I must keep it alive as some users are accessing some shared folders on it.
I have no clues on doing it.
I just saw that in distribution lists there's a checkbox "can receive emails" but there's not in single accounts.
Thanks
disable email receiving on single account
disable email receiving on single account
OR you could set the account status to closed.
From the admin guide:
"Closed. When a mailbox status is closed, the login is disabled, and
messages are bounced. This status is used to soft-delete an account
before deleting the account from the server. A closed account does not
change the account license."
I haven't tried it, but I suppose this wouldn't block other users from accessing the shared folders.
...also, you could just simply rename the account. I believe incoming email will bounce but the shared folders will remain since Zimbra does the internal reference by zimbraID values and not email addresses.

I tried, but if I disable or close or whatever is not active, I can't access shared folders.
So it seems that renaming the account might be a better option.

Hi,
I have the same issue as yours Leocor.
Is your solution still the better thing to do ? Thank you for your help.

Re: disable email receiving on single account
Any way to achieve this other than renaming the account to something impossible to guess from external ?
