Overview
Mail can be used to communicate with individuals, groups, sections, roles, or all participants. Communications are all contained within the Course and keeps email messages out of your inbox. Mail messages can be cc'd to users' email. The email received will contain a link that takes the user back into the eLearning in Sakai system to that he/she can reply to the Mail message.

Mail Settings
Mail settings allows you to set certain options as the default.
- Allow sending copies to recipients' email address(es):
- the default is that this is set to "yes" so that every user has the option to cc the Mail to users' email. If you change it to "no," no one will have the option to cc the Mail to users' email.
- Auto Forward Messages:
- If this is set to "yes," you will get a cc of every Mail that is sent in the system, regardless of whether or not the person specified a cc.
- If this is set to "no," you will only receive a cc if the sender specifies it.
- Email address for forwarding:
- If you do not enter anything, the forwarded Mails will be sent to your gatorlink@ufl.edu address. If you add a different email address here, it will be copied to that email address as well as the gatorlink@ufl.edu address.
