Using the Email Agent

DocuShare Email Agent User Guide
Your DocuShare administrator determines whether or not you need to type
TO:
or
some other text. You can add spaces or a tab before and after
TO:
.
Note:
If the email message includes attachments and you want to send the attachments
only, replace the word
TO:
with
Upload:
. Because your administrator can specify a
word other than
Upload:
, check with your administrator to find out the correct word
to use.
4. Finish composing the message and send it.
The message is sent; you will receive an email notification if your administrator
configured DocuShare to send confirmation messages.
Sending email messages to your personal collection
You can easily send an email message to your personal collection simply by addressing
the message to your DocuShare server.
To send an email message to your personal collection:
1. In your email application, open a message window.
2. In the
To
or
Cc
field (do not use the
Bcc
field), enter the email address of the
DocuShare server.
Example
: docushareserver@emaildomain
3. Finish composing the message and send it.
The message is sent; you will receive an email notification if your administrator
configured DocuShare to send confirmation messages.
Allowing non-DocuShare users to send email messages to
collections and workspaces
You can allow users who do not have DocuShare accounts to send email messages to
collections and workspaces. Your administrator sets up a user account for the Email Agent
to enable this feature. You need to change the permissions of the container to give either
the Email Agent user account or the All Users Except Guest group Writer permission to
the container. A default owner name is assigned to a message a non-DocuShare user
sends. If you do not change the permissions, the email messages are sent to a default
collection. Check with your administrator for the name of the Email Agent user account as
well as for the name of the default collection.
If your administrator does not set up a user account for the Email Agent, then DocuShare
cannot receive email messages from non-DocuShare users.
