Configuring the Emails You ReceiveConfiguring the Emails You Receive You can (and should) configure which emails one wants to receive from your “My Profile” page within the Kommbox web application. This means that you have direct control over your email traffic. “All” instant updates refers to all the task and message updates. Typically, middle and top management may not want these instant updates and may switch these off. “Important” instant updates means only the updates to high priority tasks and messages with a red (someone is upset) mood. One may want these on even if “all” instant updates are off, so as to get them quickly without having to wait for a daily / weekly digest. Daily / weekly digests may also be switched on or off.
