System Settings and Email

The purpose of this module is to customize your mail settings and configure ANGEL to send a copy of all system-level email (i.e. emails from the ANGEL systems administrator) to an Internet email account.

The System Settings also allows you select your user level of expertise based on your comfort level with the ANGEL system, and to specify your local drive settings. However, it is recommended that you leave these settings as is.

This tutorial will only focus on the Mail Settings portion of the System Settings. You can learn about the Course Roster.
