- Siebel Universal Queuing is installed (optional). If you have chosen to use Siebel Universal Queuing or a third-party universal queuing application, install and configure it using the application documentation.

- Basic tests are performed. Before you set up eMail Response, perform the following tests:
- Verify network connectivity by pinging the email server from Siebel Server.
- Test the email server, and make sure your email server is properly set up. To do this, verify that you can communicate to and from each email account you create. For each email account, you can use any email client to:
- Set up test accounts
- Send email from each test account to itself
- Send email from each test account to an account outside your company
