IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you read emails with subject line Moodle.Nottingham: Forum Digest

Changing the way Moodle sends you emails

You can choose to receive emails as soon as they are sent out by Moodle (e.g., through the News / announcements forum of a module you have a role in).

Getting one email at a time is useful because

• each email has a helpful subject line including the module it has come from.
• it is clear which staff member is sending the message.

OR you can change to digest mode - only one email a day, in a digest.

• This is useful because you only get one email a day.
• Warning: as the header is Moodle.Nottingham: Forum Digest you may not see it as important (always read such emails).
• The emails from News / Announcements are mixed in with emails from other forums and you may have to read carefully to pick out the important messages.
• It only comes once a day (around 5-5.30 pm) so any messages which require immediate action may be received too late (e.g., last minute cancellation of a lecture).

OR An alternative way to manage emails from Moodle is to use no digest, so you get single emails, and then use your filters in Outlook to sweep emails into a particular folder (but don't forget to read them!).
