In the endless search of fixing my email issues, trying to find the needle in the haystack, I stumbled upon this git commit:
Which lets me ask, what is Frappe Mail? I tried to get some more information but this naming isn’t used anywhere else. Also the domain frappemail.com is new to me.
And then there is the frappe App Email Delivery Service - Frappe Cloud Marketplace which seems like it uses mailgun to deliver the emails. And is mainly intended to send emails whereas the frappe mail connector can send and receive.
I’m a little confused right now so any information is appreciated
Currently, we do not have a dedicated website for documentation.
The README.md file primarily focuses on the process of sending and receiving emails.
However, I am in the process of adding comprehensive documentation for self-hosting Frappe Mail, and a development-focused guide will be available soon.
@Sagar_Sharma can you talk a litte bit about the plans for appointment invites via email?
How will frappe mail handle such things in conjunction with frappe calendar, or any other calendar?
I don’t have a concrete answer to this at the moment. Our current focus is on building the core email platform. Once we implement these features, I’ll be in a better position to provide more details.
Administrator/System Manager creates mailboxes and assigns them to a user (You can, although, write a server script to automate). Users can then do mailbox-level settings by themselves.
Perhaps the things being discussed and subject of thread may not be matching much.
AFAIK, Frappe Mail (with all it’s pre-reuisutes / dependencies) is like a mail server. One need a server / service to send and receive emails. One can use self-hosted mail sevrer, GMail, or anyother mail server / service.
My question here was to allow users of ERPNext to access their individual emails like sharma.munish@mycompany.in or rai.hs@mycompaning.in (in privacy maintained) in addition to general emails like help | info @ mycompany.com, so that user need not to go to other software to check his emails, leaving ERPNext.

No, you can’t use other email services with Frappe Mail Client.

With the Frappe Mail Client, you don’t need to switch to any other software. All domains, mailboxes, and emails are managed and stored within your site (where the client app is installed). Essentially, it functions like any other email client, ensuring users only have access to the emails associated with their specific mailboxes.
