Having checked the checkbox "Activate shared inbox", you now have two options:
  • Decide if the shared inbox should be shared with everyone in the exercise (Session) or on a team-by-team basis (For team). "For team" means that each team has their own shared inbox.
  • Decide if all emails should be automatically sent to the shared inbox ("Send all to shared inbox") or if the player is required to add the shared inbox address to the CC: to To: fields of an email. If you take the second option "Require sender to add address" then you can specify your own shared inbox address.
Adding the shared inbox address as shown below is only necessary if you configure the exercise with "Require sender to add address"
