Email Enable Folders

Administrators and users with Change Permission have the ability to enable folders to receive email messages from both internal and external project participants. Once this setting is configured, an email address is automatically generated for the folder. You are able to view, and if necessary, edit this email address to a unique name. Messages appear in the folder as a .msg extension.

Microsoft Outlook® is required to download and open message files outside of e-Builder Enterprise™. Simply click the message title to open it within the system.
