Accessing Your Pending and Sent Emails

Your personal email monitor shows 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 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)

Emails that are sent to you when you import records, and emails that are sent to you when a scheduled event for analytics is executed on your behalf, 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 to you when you 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 to the email, 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 your personal email monitor, regardless of whether or not the files were sent with the emails.
