Reviewing Your Company's Pending and Sent Emails
The Email Monitor page displays the following information:
- Email Monitor Summary. Displays the number of pending emails from Oracle CRM On Demand.

About the Retention Period for Sent Emails and Email Attachments
In the standard application, Oracle CRM On Demand retains sent emails and their attachments for a certain period, as follows:
- The email is retained for 30 days, and is then purged.
- The email attachment is retained for 7 days, and is then purged.
Your administrator can change the retention periods for sent emails and their attachments, by changing the values in the following fields on the company profile:
- Email Expiry (Days)
- Email Attachment Expiry (Days)
For information about updating these fields, see Configuring Company Settings.
Emails that are sent when users import records, and emails that are sent when a scheduled event for analytics is executed, can have files attached to them. If the size of a file that is to be attached to an outbound email is not greater than 2 MB, then Oracle CRM On Demand attaches the file to the email. If the size of the file is greater than 2 MB, then Oracle CRM On Demand zips the file. If the size of the zipped file is not greater than 2 MB, then the zipped file is attached to the email. Otherwise, the file is not attached to the email.
For emails that are sent when users import records, the log file is the first attachment, and the map file is the second attachment. The map file is attached to the email provided that the combined size of the attachments is not greater than 2 MB. If the combined size of the attachments is greater than 2 MB, then Oracle CRM On Demand zips the map file and attaches it, provided that the combined size of the attachments is not greater than 2 MB. Otherwise, the map file is not attached to the email.
You can access the unzipped files, as well as the emails themselves, through the email monitor, regardless of whether or not the files were attached and sent with the emails.
Before you begin. To perform this procedure, your role must include the Access Master Audit Trail and Admin Configuration Audit privilege. If your user role does not include this privilege, then you cannot view the pending and sent emails for your entire company. However, you can view the emails that were sent or are waiting to be sent by Oracle CRM On Demand to you, as well as the emails that were sent or are waiting to be sent by Oracle CRM On Demand on your behalf, in your personal email monitor. For more information, see Accessing Your Pending and Sent Emails.
