All email messages sent to your site's email address are stored in the Email Archive. You can use any email program to send mail to the email address listed at the top of your Email Archive page. The Email tool includes an option for adding messages to the Email Archive.
Site members can use Preferences in their Home page to choose how often they want to receive email sent to the site's email address: either separately as it is sent or in digest mode, with all email messages for the day sent in a single email message.
