An email you can adapt
The subject “Approval request: temporary mailbox for [project]” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: Approval request: temporary mailbox for [project] Hi [name], We propose a temporary mailbox for [purpose] from [start] to [review date]. [Owner] would be accountable for incoming messages, with access limited to [approved role]. Please confirm whether a separate mailbox is needed or whether an existing address can serve the work. We also need an approved storage allowance and an end-of-project review owner. No account will be created from this email alone without the normal authorization. Best, [sender]
Check the boundary
An alias and a mailbox have different ownership and login implications, so confirm the intended arrangement first.
What a useful reply should settle
Approval should state the purpose, responsible person, access boundary and review date.
At the review date, assess ongoing need and records preservation before making any account changes.
