When using the emergency inbox the following apply:

  • Users can only access their emergency inbox via the Self Service Portal (SSP).
  • Users can only see their inboxes.
  • Emails are stored for 14 days.
  • Sophos Email will try to deliver messages for up to 5 days.
  • The mail server (Postfix) decides the delivery attempt interval, and it is logarithmic based on the number of failed attempts. Therefore, it will add more time after each failed attempt.
