The UMA operates in HUB mode and in this case retrieves the emails from a collective account.
While many email providers only support this function for incoming emails, Office 365 also allows outgoing mails to be copied to the collective mailbox using a so-called journal rule.
This article shows how to set up the Office 365 Administration Portal in the UMA.
User Administration
Connection to an Active Directory (recommended)
If an Active Directory is available, it is recommended to integrate the Office 365 environment into the local environment. Integration synchronizes users and email settings between Office 365 and the Active Directory. This facilitates the administration of all systems and increases the comfort for the user.
This is the only way to archive public folders and shared mailboxes as public folders!
Local Users
If no Active Directory is available, the users can be managed locally on the UMA.
Only private archives can be created and not public ones.
For example, if an info@ address exists, this address must be assigned to a user. This also consumes a User-License in Securepoint UMA. The release of this archive for other users is not possible.

Email account in the UMA
Configuration in UMA
This mailbox is then entered in the UMA. The configuration is done in the menu System Settings/ email Server Section
Remote email accounts receive all journal emails from a mail server. This usually includes several individual user email accounts. The remote email accounts must be created in the Mail Server as journal accounts, so that all associated mails (outgoing and incoming mails of the mail server) can be received here.
Archiving only takes place if the following settings have been made under System settings / Email accounts users with a corresponding email address can be created.
