Emergency Inbox

Emergency Inbox is used to provide users access to email in the event that their mail environment is
unavailable. Once this occurs Proofpoint will automatically begin to spool mail for the affected domain and
the emergency inbox will immediately begin to show the spooled mail. Users are able to send new messages as
well as reply to received messages. Users are unable to see messages that were successfully delivered prior to
mail delivery being impacted.
