Odoo 18 Email Client — Outlook-Style IMAP/SMTP Inbox
The Odoo 18 email client for real IMAP/SMTP mailboxes. Connect Gmail, Microsoft 365 or any company email to Odoo and manage all messages from a modern three-pane inbox — folders, message list and reading pane in one place. Works on Odoo Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise. No external SaaS, no activation key.

💡 Basic edition: Full personal mail client for Odoo at an entry-level price. Works on Odoo Community & Enterprise. Requires only standard IMAP/SMTP credentials (username + password or app password). No Axoline cloud service required.
Stop Switching Between Odoo and Your Email App
Most Odoo users still juggle a separate webmail or Outlook window alongside Odoo. MailDesk brings your real IMAP mailbox into Odoo:
Separate Tools
Copy-paste between Gmail/Outlook and Odoo. Lose context when creating leads or tickets.
Odoo Discuss Only
Great for internal chat, but not a replacement for your external IMAP mailbox.
Axoline MailDesk
Real IMAP/SMTP inbox inside Odoo. Reply, create CRM leads, helpdesk tickets and see partner history — all in one screen.
MailDesk vs. Odoo Discuss vs. External Webmail
Choose the right Odoo mail integration for your workflow:
| Capability | Odoo Discuss | Gmail / Outlook | Axoline MailDesk |
|---|---|---|---|
| External IMAP mailbox (Gmail, company email) | ✘ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Internal Odoo chatter & notifications | ✔ | ✘ | Complements Discuss |
| Create CRM lead / sales order from email | Limited | Manual copy-paste | ✔ |
| Partner 360 beside every email | ✘ | ✘ | ✔ |
| Unified inbox (multiple mailboxes) | ✘ | Separate tabs | ✔ |
| Odoo Community Edition (CE) | ✔ | N/A | ✔ |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it replace Odoo Discuss?
No. Discuss handles internal Odoo messaging and chatter. MailDesk connects your external IMAP mailbox (Gmail, company email, etc.) inside Odoo.
Does Basic sync read/unread back to Gmail?
Not in the Basic edition. Messages are imported one-way into Odoo. Read, move and delete actions apply inside Odoo only. Two-way sync is planned for a future Pro release.
Do I need an Axoline cloud account?
No. There is no external SaaS layer and no activation key. All email data is stored in your Odoo database. You connect directly to your mail provider via IMAP/SMTP.
Can multiple users connect their own mailboxes?
Yes. Each Odoo user can connect their own accounts. Record rules ensure users only see their own mailboxes. Shared team inboxes are planned for a future release.
Does it work with Gmail?
Yes, via IMAP/SMTP with an app password. OAuth sign-in for Gmail is not included in Basic but is planned for Pro.
Is Odoo Community Edition supported?
Yes. MailDesk Basic has no Enterprise-only dependencies. Our online demo may run on Enterprise for hosting convenience only.
Does MailDesk work with Microsoft 365 / Outlook?
Yes, via IMAP/SMTP with your Microsoft 365 credentials or app password. OAuth sign-in is planned for a future Pro release.
Can I create a CRM lead from an email?
Yes. Click Create on any message to open a pre-filled CRM lead, opportunity, sales order, helpdesk ticket, contact, task or calendar event (requires the respective Odoo app).
Is this an Outlook or Gmail replacement inside Odoo?
MailDesk is a full IMAP/SMTP webmail client embedded in Odoo. It complements — not replaces — Odoo Discuss for internal messaging.
Does it require Odoo Enterprise or Studio?
No. MailDesk runs on Odoo Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise with no Studio dependency. Our online demo may use Enterprise for hosting only.
