Documentazione Mail Messages Easy

Configurazione generale dell'app

To configure the module go to Messages → Settings → General Settings. Following settings are available there:

• Text preview length: Defines the number of symbols that will be shown on the message tile in the message list view.
• Note background: This color is used to distinguish messages from internal notes. Which are also stored in the mail.message Odoo model.
• Default Signature Location: By default Odoo places user signature at the end of the message. However this is not convenient when messages are quoted. This setting allows to put user signature before quoted message when replying with quote.

• Smart Notification: When a message is posted to a record in Odoo by default all record followers are notified. This is valid for incoming messages too. For example you send a message with bob@example.com and kate@example.com to some Odoo instance. Where both of those are saved as partners and are followers of some record. By default each of them will receive two same messages:
  • Direct email because they are message recipients.

• Message Quote Number: Message body can become really huge and heavy when a thread is replied many times with quote. This setting provides a solution for that allowing to limit the number of previously quoted messages in the quoted body. Currently only "blockquote" tag is parsed.
• Allow Direct Messages To Catchall: By default Odoo will bounce any message that it sent to catchall@ address. This setting allows to override this behavior and process such messages same as any others.
• Delete Spam After: Number of days spam messages will be deleted after. This feature is added by the Message Filter module. Message Filter module.
• Fallback Model: If no message filter can be applied to an incoming message this message will be posted to a new record of the selected model. This feature is added by the Message Filter module. Message Filter module.
