Epsilen Mail
Mail can be accessed from a number of places within the Epsilen system. From your myPortal page, select Epsilen Mail to review your mail from all sources. When you are on a course or group page, selecting Mail from the menu will show you mail from that course or group only.
The mail in your myPortal Epsilen Mail is automatically separated according to sender. Quick Notes, Epsilen mail, Institution mail, Course mail, Group mail, and System mail can each be viewed on separate tabs, as can your Archived mail, Sent mail, and Alerts. The tab located at the far-left side of the screen will display all of the active (non-archived) mail you have in the system.
Epsilen Mail Inbox
When you select Mail from a course or group page, you will see a simplified interface, with fewer tabs. The Mail, Archived, and Sent tabs here will only show you mail that was sent from the course or group you are currently viewing.
Course Mail Inbox
While your mail from a course or group is only visible from that course or group’s page, all your mail, from every course and group, will appear in the main Epsilen Mail interface available through your myPortal Page.
Changing Your Email Forwarding Options
Any mail you receive in Epsilen can be forwarded to another email address on a per category basis. Only mail of the enabled categories will be forwarded. Mail can even be forwarded to your cell phone as a text message.
- Select Epsilen Mail from your myPortal page, then the Options button that appears immediately below.
- You will see a page with three tabs. See image below.
- Select “Mail Forwarding.”
- Enter the email address you want to use for a category.
- Check the “Enabled” box next to the category to forward.
- Click the “Save Changes” button.

Alert Forwarding
Setting Alert forwarding options
Alerts notify you when certain things take place within Epsilen, such as a new event being added to one of your calendars or a new file being uploaded to a course. Alerts are delivered to your Epsilen mailbox, but you can have them forwarded to another email address. Under Epsilen Mail Options, click the Alert Forwarding tab. Here you can select which Alerts you want forwarded, and to what email address.
