Messages Tool

The Messages tool allows you to send and receive private messages to and from other site participants. It handles messages between site members only.  This tool offers several valuable options.

     Send to individuals or groups: Using this tool, you may send mail to an individual, a select number of individuals, or a select number of groups on this site.

     Organization of messages: By default, the tool provides three folders in which you may store email. You may create other folders if you wish.

     Notifications on site home page: On the site home page, you can see how many unread private messages you have.

     Forwarding: You have the option of having the CLE automatically forward your private messages to another email address.

     Breadcrumb trail: When you are working in a folder or a message in a folder, a breadcrumb trail near the top of the screen shows your location. You can return to any location shown there by clicking on a breadcrumb.
