Impacts of deleting an email account

[brendonhatcher]

Hi

I had a test email account set up whilst I was learning Feng.  I then created a wide range of email accounts for actual use.  However, some conversations are still using the obsolete email address.

I want to delete the account, but am unsure of the implications for the previous emails to and from that account, as well as ongoing conversations.

Any advice?

Thanks

When deleting an email account, you will have the option to delete its emails.

Thanks.  If I don't want to delete the emails, but want to reassign the conversations to a different email address?

For example, all emails to office@domain.com should now reflect under the support@domain.com account.  Replies should go from support@domain.com, not office@domain.com.

I am happy to edit database tables if necessary.

Alternatively, if I don't edit the existing conversations, will I still be able to see them somehow after I delete the email address?

Thanks
Brendon

You can edit the mail_contents table which stores the account_id (related to the id in mail_accounts table).

Backup your DB and try the changes over the backup to prevent data corruption.
