1. Log into Campus Pipeline, as normal.
2. Click on the icon for Email.
3. Click on the tab for Options.

1. Click on the phrase "Display Settings".

2. Click in the circle in front of the choices you prefer.

• Deleted items may be sent to the Deleted folder or completely erased from the system. If you like the safety of a deleted items folder, choose it. If you don't like to empty trash, choose to delete it from the system.
  
  
• On campus, the number of messages listed on a page doesn't make a big difference. If you are working from elsewhere, on a slow connection speed, a lower number will speed the transfer because fewer would be sent at one time. You can always see the other messages by changing to next or previous pages.
  
  
• Normally you would keep the message headers set at Brief. Setting them to All will display all the information showing how the message was routed. That's great for technical folks, but usually more information than most want to see.

3. When done, click the OK button. Or, if you want to exit without saving the changes, click the Cancel button.

Message Preferences and Sent Messages

1. Click on the phrase "Message Preferences".

2. Choose the settings you would prefer.

• Read receipts may be requested with each message sent. Read receipts are acknowledgements by receiver that the message arrived. It could be a pain to constantly have to acknowledge messages. Please think before requesting read receipts. Our recommendation is that you do NOT check this box. You will still have the option when composing a message to request a read receipt.
  
  
• Save sent messages: If you want to save a copy of every message you send out, place a checkmark here. (If the square is empty, click in the sqaure to make a checkmark appear.) If you do not want to save a copy of EVERY message you send, you can still save copies of messages you send, by clicking in the appropriate box on the message composition screen. (If the square already has a checkmark, click on the checkmark to make it go away.)
  
  
• Confirmation of sent messages: By default, Campus Pipeline will show a "confirmation" window each time you send out a message. Basically, it shows up with the information about who the message was sent to. An OK button is the only option on that page. If you do not want to have to click the OK button each time, you can select "Do Not Confirm". This does not affect the sending of the message itself.

3. When you have selected the options you would like, click the OK button. Or, to exit without making changes, click the Cancel button.

Your changes take effect immediately.

If you have a question or topic that you would like to see added, please contact the Webmaster.
