Alerts

Alerts notify you at your local (non-Email Center Pro) email address when new messages are received that match criteria you select.

Create an alert

1. Locate the login links at the top of the screen (Logged in as...)
2. Click Account & Tools
3. Click the Alerts tab
4. Click the Add Alert button
5. Use the drop-down arrows in the Alert criteria to set Alert parameters
   1. Alert frequency: choose hourly or daily (once per day)
   2. Timeframe: choose time of day and days of the week for your alerts
   3. Mail type: choose all mail, just mail assigned to you, or just unread mail
   4. Mail location: choose a specific mailbox or saved search
6. Click Add Alert again to add another Alert, if needed
7. Click the Save button when done

TIP: Not specific enough?

If you want to be alerted on very specific criteria, you can create a Saved Search, and select the Saved Search by name in the final Alert criteria box (saved searches appear below the list of Mailboxes).

Change an alert

You can change your alerts at any time.

1. Use the login links to open your Account Settings
2. Click the Alerts tab
3. Use the drop-down arrows in the Alert criteria to change Alert parameters
4. Click the Save button when done

Delete an alert

1. Use the login links to open your Account Settings
2. Click the Alerts tab
3. Click the Trash icon next to the alert you wish to delete
4. Click the Save button when done

Get your alerts

The Alerts feature sends an email notification to the "Contact Email" address listed in your account Preferences. You can change that address at any time.

TIP: RSS Feed Alternative

If you prefer to get your account updates in an RSS aggregator instead of your local email, you can add an RSS feed for any message list in your account, including Saved Searches.
