Deleting email notifications

Using the AR System Email Mailbox Configuration form, you can configure your email system to automatically delete notification messages from the AR System Email Messages form after they have been successfully sent. This default setting reduces the number of records stored in your message form.

Best practice

Most of the time, you will use the AR System Email Messages form for troubleshooting the Email Engine. When you first start using the Email Engine, you might not want notifications automatically deleted to make sure they are sent to the intended users, outgoing email is formatted correctly, and so on. But after your Email Engine is running correctly, you should automatically delete email notifications, unless you are using email templates to modify records; otherwise, your server can quickly fill up with email notifications. If you configure the system to delete messages automatically, the Email Engine will not permit you to modify records. The Email Engine includes a security feature that checks the outgoing records to verify that incoming email with a modify action comes from the same server.
