  4. Select the mailbox to edit by the edit icon within the Actions column
    • Hovering your mouse over an entry will display available actions
  5. Change Type + Destination fields respectively
    • To make an e-mail address forward, alter Type from L (local delivery) to F (forwarded)
      • Enter multiple e-mail addresses in the destination text box
      • Each entry is delimited by a comma (“,”) or enter (“⏎”)
      • To make a forwarded e-mail address delivery locally, alter Type from F (“forwarded’) to L (“local delivery”)
      • Select the user account under Destination
      • This account maps to a user defined in UserManage Users
