Sending test emails

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
You can send test emails to determine if Journaling works. Listed are a number of email test scenarios. See the appropriate table for each scenario to view test message configurations and their expected archive results:
  • Intra-office Test Email Scenarios
  • Inbound Test Email Scenarios
  • Outbound Test Email Scenarios
For the Provisioning process use the test email scenarios worksheet for Archive Journaling verification.
Note: To confirm the receipt of test emails, you must look in the user's Personal.cloud archive. The correct way to do this is by "browsing" the Inbox, and not by "searching" for the message(s). Email messages appears in the archive via browsing before these messages are available by searching, which could take up to several hours.
