3.4 Setting Up a Folder or External E-Mail Address to Receive All Sent E-Mail Messages

Like a personal e-mail Outbox for the Vibe site, you can configure a folder or any e-mail address to receive all e-mail messages that you personally send from the Vibe site. This can help you better track your activity.

Vibe administrators might need to enable this functionality, as described in Enabling Users to Configure a Folder or External E-Mail Address to Receive Sent E-Mails in Managing E-Mail Configuration in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3.1 Administration Guide.

Actions that cause e-mail messages to be sent from the Vibe site and to be saved in the Vibe folder that you designate are:

NOTE:Certain types of e-mail messages that do not require you to personally add text, such as setting digest notifications or workflow notifications, are not saved to the folder that you designate.

To set up a folder or external e-mail address to receive all e-mail messages that you send from the Vibe site:

  1. Create a new folder in the workspace where you want the folder to reside.

    For information on how to create a folder, see Creating a New Folder in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3.1 User Guide.

  2. Define a simple URL for the folder, and allow e-mails to be sent to the folder.

    For information on how to define a URL for a folder and allow e-mailing into it, see Section 3.3.3, Enabling E-Mail Posting with a Simple URL.

  3. Navigate to your user profile page by clicking My Workspace > Profile.

    The Profile page is displayed.

  4. Click Edit.

  5. In the BCC Email Address field, specify the e-mail address of the folder or external e-mail address.

    If the BCC Email Address field does not exist, contact your Vibe administrator.

    The folder e-mail address was created when you defined a simple URL for the folder and allowed e-mail posting into the folder, as described in Step 2. It is displayed on the Configure Default Settings page.

  6. Click OK.
