According to https://www.odoo.com/de_DE/forum/hilfe-1/question/how-to-setup-email-alias-111570 I created aliases for all users. In this case it is firstname.lastname@mycompany.com. I checked userid from the database and did settings for Record Thread ID and Parent Record Thread ID in the alias configuration for the user.

While testing the configuration, no mails are received by the system. The mail will be sent to firstname.lastname@mycompany.com .The message in the inbox at the provider will be touched and set as read message. But the mail does not arrive to Odoo. When I check the logs I see the folloging error:

UserId and AliasId seems to be correct! What does this error mean?

FINAL UPDATE:

Elaine at Odoo did a lot of digging and confirmed that this "feature" had been causing quite a bit of confusion - some of the more technical folk could make this work, but then later on it caused some problems.  The decision was made to remove this "feature" - which was never intended to work.

I have passed on the recommendation that using a single GMAIL alias has these advantages:

  1. Retain corporate control/audit of internal email

  2. Save a lot on GMAIL monthly bills

  3. Dramatic reduction in mail administration

Elaine says that these are valid issues and they will discuss it internally.  I would say, if you feel strongly about this issue, please do make your voice heard.  For myself, I am about to spend a bunch of money at GMAIL and open my business to a major extra administration :-(

Thanks to Elaine for her awesome Odoo support!

Original Reply:

So far as I can find online, you need to set (presuming user_id=2):

  • Alias Model: Users

  • Record Thread ID: 2

  • Default Values: {'user_id':2}

  • Alias Contact Security: Everyone

  • Owner: (user chosen from drop-down list)

  • Parent Model: Users

  • Parent Record Thread ID: 2

As far as I know, this SHOULD be working.  But as everyone else on the planet seems to be noticing - not in Odoo V12.

I have opened a support ticket with Odoo and will update this thread once I have a response.

-----------------

Update: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/29298

This seems to say that Odoo is not intended to be used as a mail client and that they are not supporting the ability for users to have an alias.  Alias is only designed to be used with chatter. So unless my support ticket says otherwise, I am guessing that we close this as "no longer a feature". But I will update when I hear officially.

I cannot believe what I read in this thread. In V11 this feature does work, now using V13 it doesn't. I remember the times when Odoo did promote this feature as mayor advantage to reduce the administration and hosting costs of individual mail accounts. I see there is a problem in bigger companies, that the Odoo "mailserver" can't handle all the spam mails of several dozens of user alias mails, but in a smaller company this was a really nice feature. If there is an expert around I would be interested to see a workaround to enable this feature on V12/13. If it is only the missing creation right in the res.users model it shouln'd be such a hassle.

At least for V12 exists a module that solves this issue.

There is a  possibility that user may face issues like, ‘Outlook not receiving emails’, ‘Outlook is slow to receive emails’, ‘unable to receive emails in Outlook but can send outlook incoming mail is not working’ etc. While sending or receiving emails. So, it becomes necessary to tackle the root causes of harmful errors. Check out the deeper information http://bit.ly/35IptFm

Same here V12-20190314- mails go out and come back in , but other mails are not picked-up by the fetchmail. Have you found any solution in the meantime? I'm lost and the email management is a key function for me.
