Issue, replace and revoke a device login

Give each phone or app its own login and cut off one without the others.

Where: Mail → a mailbox → Device logins

  1. On a Provisioned mailbox, pick a person who has read or send access, name the device and choose Issue login.
  2. Copy the secret from the New login panel straight away. It is shown once; Kyloth keeps only a hash and cannot show it again. If it is lost, issue a new login.
  3. The login reads Issuing until the mail server confirms it, then Active. It cannot be used before it shows Active.
  4. To replace a device, choose Issue replacement, wait for the new login to show Active, then choose Revoke on the old one. Only one change to a mailbox can wait for the mail server at a time, so revoking while another is waiting is refused.
  5. Revoke reads Revoking until the mail server confirms. Treat the login as still usable until it reads Revoked.
  • Administration alone does not allow a login to be issued: the person must hold read or send access on that mailbox.
  • An outgoing mail session that was already open when a login was revoked can continue until it ends on its own; new sign-ins by that login are refused.
