You can configure Novell Teaming to send you e-mail notifications for folders and their sub-folders, or for individual entries (this is called “subscribing” to a folder or entry). Also, folder owners can configure Teaming to send e-mail notifications to you (as described in Configuring Folders to Send E-Mail Notifications to Other Users
in the Novell Teaming 2.0 Advanced User Guide). However, because a user’s individual subscription settings override those of the folder owner, you can override any higher-level configurations.
If you are particularly interested in a specific folder or entry, you might want to subscribe to that folder or entry. When you subscribe to a folder or entry, Teaming notifies you of the activity that takes place in the folder or entry.
