Making sure you get all your emails

How do you make sure you are receiving all the emails sent by staff on your modules through Moodle?

Emails are sent through Moodle in a variety of ways.

Ensure you read any emails with the title moodle.Nottingham Forum Digest as this conetains important messages from several modules.

Moodle messaging

Moodle has an internal messaging system and people may send you emails through it.

• If you are online, by default, these emails pop up (but may NOT also come as an email)
• If you are offline, then the message comes through as an email.

If you have changed these defaults then something else may happen.

In My Home click into Messages to see your messages. 

The popup looks something like this, right at the bottom of your screen:

To ensure you get the messages by email

You can change your settings to enable these to also come into your email inbox.

1. Go to My Home
2. Under My profile settings click on Messaging
3. On the page "Configure notification methods for incoming messages"
   scroll down to
   "Personal messages between users"
4. Check all four boxes are checked (for 'When I'm logged in' and 'When I'm offline')

You will now receive emails that look like this (It may be difficult to tell which module they relate to as it comes directly from the member of staff). The subject line will be "New message from [Person's Name]"
