E-mail inbox and outbox
OLAT has an internal e-mail inbox system that lists all sent and received e-mails of each user in his personal home area. The OLAT e-mail inbox system is an optional component.
Enable your OLAT e-mail inbox:
- If the OLAT inbox system is disabled, all OLAT e-mails will be sent exclusively to the personal e-mail address. The OLAT inbox is not visible in the home area with this configuration.
- If the OLAT inbox system is enabled, all received and sent emails will be listed in the users personal inbox.
In addition, each user can configure in his preferences wether he wants to receive mails from OLAT to his personal e-mail address or if he prefers to read the mail within OLAT. As administrator you can define the default behavior.
- Send e-mails to the internal OLAT inbox
- Send e-Mails to the internal OLAT inbox and the personal e-mail address
E-mail template
OpenOLAT is sending e-mails for various events. To make the e-mails look more attractive, those e-mails are sent as HTML mails including formatting. Using the e-mail template you can modify the general appearance of all e-mails.
The following variable have to be in the template:
- $content: Is replaced with the actual content of the e-mail. The content is normally written in the recipients language.
- $footer: Is replaced with the generic footer line. The footer is written in the recipients language and can be modified using the language adaption tool for each language (see footer.no.userdata and footer.with.userdata from package org.olat.core.util.mail)
