Re: EXTERNAL: Re: ARSystem 8.1, install patch 1 with disabled email engine fails
Disabling the outgoing mailbox records should take care of most of it. I think inflight emails, say in the case of emails already in the AR System Email Messages form from doing a db restore to another environment already have referenced the mailbox config and I think would be sent if they had not been send in the original environment. Our process run in Remedy from a SHR:Escalation form looking at AR System Email Messages records. That is a great enhancement idea though... We could improve the process to look at the mailbox configuration first to verify it is even enabled before searching pending outgoing records.
