Email fellow community members to give them community news. You must be a member of a
community to mail members of that community.
Before you begin
To reduce email spam, the community owner might remove access to email for community
members. If email is unavailable, the Mail Community option is not displayed,
in this case you could ask a community owner to email the community on your behalf.Depending on
the email privileges set by the community owner, you can email either the entire community or
community owners only.
About this task
The community owner configures the Mail Community option so that you can
send email to other community members or to community owners only. However, if you can send email to
the community, there is no limit on the number of people that you can email.
Note: If you send email to the entire community, members who are added through groups do not receive
the email. Mail Community does not work with groups.
