# Mailbox actions

The mailbox actions (known as Distribution list in AcyMailing version 5) is a feature that allows you to connect to a mailbox via IMAP or POP3 protocol and do actions to the emails in it.

Here are the 4 actions that you can do:

* Forward the email to a specific email address
* Forward the email to a list, this will create a campaign and add it to the queue
* Subscribe the user sending the email to a list
* Unsubscribe the user sending the email to a list
