Email Tag Prefix	The opening of the tag the system adds to an email header to help with tracking the email.
Email Tag Suffix	The closing of the tag the system adds to an email header to help with tracking the email.
Archive Emails	The option that defines which emails are to be archived. This option applies to particular system email accounts when the user manually initiates email processing by using the Email Accounts (SM204002) or Send and Receive Email (SM507010) form, and for scheduled email processing. The following options are available: None: Archiving of emails depending on their age is disabled. However, you can archive one email at a time by using the Email Activity (CR306015) form. Older than 3 months: Emails older than 3 months may be archived. Older than 6 months: Emails older than 6 months may be archived. Older than 9 months: Emails older than 9 months may be archived. Older than 12 months: Emails older than 12 months may be archived. For more information, see Email Archiving.
Automatic Resend Attempts	The number of times that the scheduled processing is allowed to fail for an email before the email's status changes from Pending Processing to Failed. However, the system ignores this setting if a critical error occurs on the mail server or if you run the processing manually. By default, the number of automatic resend attempts is set to 0.
Suspend Email Processing	A check box that you select to suspend the processing of outgoing and incoming emails on all system accounts. The system will process only emails related to the users' security in this case. You clear the check box to resume email processing.
Send User Emails Immediately	A check box that you select to make the system to send the emails at once for the default email account. If the check box is selected, when a user clicks Send on the Email Activity (CR306015) form for an email, the system sends the email at once and assigns it the Processed status. If the check box is cleared, the system adds the email to the sending queue and assigns the email the Pending Processing status. Regardless of the state of the Send User Emails Immediately check box, the system always immediately sends the service emails for which corresponding notification templates were specified on the Email Preferences (SM204001) form. The check box is available for selection if the Suspend Email Processing check box is cleared on the same form. If a user selects the Suspend Email Processing check box, the system clears the Send User Emails Immediately check box (if it was selected) and makes it unavailable for selection.
Email Processing Logging	The option that defines whether the system should log information about email processing. The following options are available: Disabled: No logging is performed. Enabled for Failed Emails (default): The system logs only information about errors that occur during the reception or processing of emails.

You can view all log entries by using the Email Processing Log (SM404100) form.
