Email – Validation required when using the ‘Copy external mail on all sent messages’ option

Users must validate their email addresses whenever they use the Copy external mail on all sent messages option. This option is selected in either Email Settings or the Account Settings > Email tab.

Once users save their changes, the system sends a validation email message to the email address. Users click the link in the email to validate the setting and email address. Unverified email addresses display a Not Verified – Click to Resend Verification Email status next to the Send a copy of each outgoing message to [email] option. Users can resend validation emails, but the system does not copy messages to the external email address until it verifies the address. If users change their email address, they must repeat the validation process.

Users can configure the Copy external mail on all sent messages option in the Account Settings > Email tab. — Figure: Users can configure the **Copy external mail on all sent messages** option in the **Account Settings** > **Email** tab.
