Notification preferences are an important part of the Mimecast Community experience because they ensure that users receive in-app and/or email notifications about content they're interested in.
- never miss an important update regarding content you're interested in,
- have the choice to not receive notifications.
Access the Notification Preferences Page
- Click on your profile icon on the top right of the page then Account & Privacy Settings
- From Settings, click Notification Preferences.
Manage you Preferences
The first thing to understand when setting your notification preferences is that there are two notification options for activity in the community: by Popup and Email, represented by the Bell and Envelop icons respectively.
When a post is created:
- Popup notifications are displayed in near real-time directly in the community, at the bottom left of your screen.
- The system generates an Email notification and sends it to your personal inbox within minutes of the content being posted.
The Notification Preferences page groups your notification options in the categories below. Check the Popup and/or Email checkboxes for each option to control which notifications you'll receive, and how, for each type of community content.
If you have any questions about settings or need assistance, please post a question below.
