\textbf{Automatically forward messages sent to one LON-CAPA account to another} 

If you have multiple LON-CAPA accounts and wish to receive all communication in one account, set LON-CAPA to forward messages sent to your other accounts to the single account where you wish to receive your aggregated messages. You can forward messages to more than one account.

To forward messages do the following:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Either move your mouse pointer over your name at the top left of the page, and select \textbf{Preferences}from the displayed dropdown, or click \textbf{Main Menu} on the Inline Menu and
then select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{pref} \textbf{Set user preferences}
in the \textbf{My Space} group.
\item At the \textbf{Set User Preferences} screen, select

\textbf{Messages \& Notifications}
\item In the \textbf{Forward messages to other account(s) in LON-CAPA} section, type your desired forward address in the text field labeled ``Forward to account(s)''. 
  This should be one or more LON-CAPA addresses, in the form: ``username:domain'', separated by commas.
\item Click the \fbox{Save} button.

\end{enumerate}

\textbf{Receive an e-mail notifying you when a LON-CAPA message is sent to you}


LON-CAPA can also send new message notifications to your conventional
e-mail accounts. You can choose the specific types of messages
which will cause notifications to be sent to the e-mail addresses
you provide. The specific types of message  
are: critical messages, standard messages or any message. The notification e-mail
will include an excerpt of the text contained in the body of the original LON-CAPA
message.

To receive notification e-mail do the following:

\begin{enumerate} 

\item Select \textbf{Preferences} on the Inline Menu or 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{pref}
\textbf{Set user preferences} 
on the Main Menu.
\item At the \textbf{Set User Preferences} screen, select 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{mail-reply-all}
\textbf{Messages \& Notifications}.
\item In the ``E-mail notification of LON-CAPA messages'' section, check the checkbox labeled \textbf{Add new address}
\item Type a notification address into the text field
   labeled \textbf{Notification address}. This should be an Internet e-mail
   address like ``user@example.com''.
\item Use the radio buttons to select which types of LON-CAPA message should
 cause a notification e-mail to be sent to the specified address.
\item Choose whether you want any HTML tags contained in the original message body
 to be preserved in the excerpt included in the notification e-mail.
\item Click the \fbox{Save} button.
\item Repeat this procedure to add more notification e-mail addresses, one address at a time.  

\end{enumerate}
