- Enter the body text that you want. There are some optional keywords you can use, if you add the word [SENDER] it will be replaced with the sender email. The word [SUBJECT] will be replaced with the original Subject text. The word [TO] will be replaced with the original receiver email.
*=There is a delay between 1-5 minutes before the notification is sent. This delay is made on purpose to increase the protection against backtracking. Only new & unread messages will be notified, if you read the message before the notification is processed, no notification will be sent.
You will not receive a notification if the email is sent from the notifying email address or from you own email address. The easiest way to test the notficiation email is by creating an alias and use it to send an email to your email address.
