Starting with version 2.0, AXIGEN supports Public Folders for the WebMail and IMAP services. System administrator can also associate email addresses with a domain’s public folder. Thus, emails can be sent directly to the public folder, access being given instantly to all the account users within the respective domain.

Public folders are defined per each domain managed by AXIGEN. For all defined public folders, one or more email addresses can be defined. The Postmaster of each domain can create and/or delete folders and messages within the Public Folder, while the rest of the users have reading rights only on the existing folders and messages.

While they cannot permanently delete messages from the Public Folders, when using WebMail, users can mark the messages they choose as deleted and also hide the emails with such marks. Also, certain email clients (such as Outlook) allow a similar behavior: marking for deletion and hiding such messages. Thus, users are not compelled to view messages that do not interest them.

Users can set other types of flags for their Public Folders, such as Read/Unread or Flagged/Unflagged. These options are available both in WebMail and in email clients (depending on their features), and affect the email messages of the respective individual account, not the actual content of the Public Folders.
