What you could do:

Forward the e-mail from box1 to box2 (i.e. with a rule in your mailclient or on your server), leave box1 for use with your local client and use box2 within OTRS.

Thanks Gerald,

Sometimes you have different scenarios, and this is one of them.
So I'm asking in general, how could one download emails from a certain mail account to OTRS, and still leave a copy on the server?

Thanks all in advance.

Best Regards,
Muhammad El-Sergani.

No human should be accessing the OTRS email account. It is purposefully designed to download all mail from the account permanently.

Well, this is one solution, but the problem remains, that we use another mail client, Thunderbird namely, to download our emails on a PC, and hence, I can't get the archived items.

Hello Muhammad,

If you are using GMail, use it with IMAP. This way if you (OTRS) delete a mail from the Inbox, it will be still visible in the Archived items. Hope this helps.

Best,
Gergely
