Overview

Upon creating a new Virtual User in FogBugz On-Site, the users do not receive any email notifications.

Root Cause

A Virtual User is not an individual user, and therefore email notifications are not enabled for it.

Resolution

1. Create a virtual user with an email address you can check and verify the box to instantly send email notifications.
2. Create a mailbox and set it to sort messages manually, and then set the virtual user in the Assign to field.
3. Send a test email to the mailbox.

Notes

• Always use a normal user account and Email ID instead of a virtual user type.
• A virtual user is not an individual. In fact, it is a Group account.
• Therefore, we can assign cases to it but cannot use email notification as it acts as a group queue.
