Detailed Features

1. Unified Email Dashboard

This app adds a dedicated dashboard inside Odoo that serves as your integrated inbox. It includes all essential folders — Inbox, All Mail, Sent, Starred, Archived, and Trash — similar to standard email clients. The organized layout helps users stay on top of their communication and ensures important messages aren’t overlooked.

2. Comprehensive Mail Configuration

Before sending or receiving emails, a quick one-time setup is required. The Mail Configuration menu guides you through setting up your Outgoing Mail Server first, followed by the Incoming Mail Server. Simply enter the server Name, Username, and Mail ID. Once saved, you can run a connection test to ensure everything is configured correctly.

3. Effortless Email Management & Fetching

After setup, you can fetch emails whenever needed.

  • Fetch now retrieves all new messages instantly.

     

  • Fetch mail by date lets you fetch emails from a specific time period.

     

All retrieved messages appear in your Inbox, and you can move them to other folders anytime — giving you full control over your email history.

4. Streamlined User Integration

To personalize your experience, the app connects your email address to your Odoo user profile. By linking your Mail ID directly to your user record, Odoo can send and receive emails on your behalf, making the entire process feel native within the system.

Industry-Specific Use Cases

This module is ideal for businesses that depend on fast, reliable communication:

Sales-Driven Companies: Sales teams can send quotes, follow-ups, and sales order confirmations from Odoo, keeping communication tied to leads and opportunities.

Procurement-Focused Businesses: Procurement teams can manage vendor emails — RFQs, purchase orders, bills, and delivery updates — all from one place, improving supply chain coordination.

Enterprises & Internal Communication: Teams can share internal updates, meeting notes, stock picking details, and general announcements, creating a unified hub for internal communication.
