Mail Processing FAQs
This guide answers frequently asked questions about how emails are processed in Halo. When a mailbox is connected, emails are converted into Tickets or replies, and moved to the "Deleted" folder. To prevent emails from creating Tickets, settings can be adjusted at the global or mailbox level. Emails are linked to Tickets primarily via subject line Ticket IDs. Forwarded emails are treated like standard replies, and duplicate Tickets may occur if there are mismatches. Configurations can stop automatic replies from reopening Tickets, and email exclusion settings can prevent looping issues with multiple support mailboxes.
