27.6 Enabling Users to Configure a Folder or External Email Address to Receive Sent Emails

Like a personal email Outbox for the Vibe site, users can configure a folder or external email address to receive all email messages that they send from the Vibe site. This can help users better track their activity.

To enable users to set up a folder or external email address in this way, Vibe administrators must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • Enable the Vibe site to allow incoming email.

    For information on how to enable Vibe to allow incoming email, see Disabling/Enabling Inbound Email Postings.

  • Reset definitions on the Vibe site if the Vibe site was upgraded from a version of Vibe prior to 3.1. If you are installing Vibe 3.1 or later as a new installation, you do not need to reset the definitions.

    For information on how to reset the definitions, see Resetting Your Definitions in Upgrade in the Vibe 4.0.8 Installation Guide.

    NOTE:If you have made customizations to definitions throughout the Vibe site and you do not want your customizations to be overwritten, you can manually add a field to the User Profile form, rather than resetting the definitions for the Vibe site. To do this, add the BCC Email Address element to the Contact Information section of the Profile Form Definition for the User Profile. For more information on how to modify the User Profile definition, see Customizing the Default User Profile View.

For more information on how users can configure folders to receive sent emails, see Setting Up a Folder or External Email Address to Receive All Sent Email Messages in the Micro Focus Vibe 4.0.8 Advanced User Guide.
