Account delegation
------------------
The Mail app supports account delegation if the delegation is handled by the mail server. That means the mail server has to accept emails sent from an alias address.
In mailcow, for example, the setting is called *Also allowed to send as user*.
.. warning:: Unless paired with shared *Sent* mailboxes or handled otherwise by the mail server, sent messages will be stored in the sender's personal *Sent* mailbox.

Account delegation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The app allows account delegation so that one user can send emails from the address of another.
1) The delegation has to be configured on the mail server by an admin
2) Add the other email address as an alias for your own email account
3) When sending an email, select the alias as sender
.. warning:: The sent email might not be visible to the original account if it's stored in your personal *Sent* mailbox.
