Maintain Your E-mail Modificiations

 

The E-mail Information screens in Maintain Your Account and Maintain Your E-mail have a new look.

The screen is divided into two panes. In the left pane, the primary e-mail address and secondary e-mail addresses, if any, appear as hyperlinks.

When you click the primary or secondary e-mail address hyperlink in the left pane, configuration options appear under the e-mail address in the right pane.

The following is an explanation of each of the options that appear above:

Configuration Options:

Should this e-mail address receive notices? For the primary e-mail address, the default is Yes. To disable the primary address, select No. If set to No, the primary e-mail address will not receive Notices of Electronic Filings (NEFs). We recommend that this setting always be set to Yes.
How should notices be sent to this e-mail address?

Sets the default delivery method for notices sent to this address.

  • If Per Filing, an e-mail will be sent for each individual NEF.
  • If Summary Report, one daily summary e-mail notice that lists all the filings for that day will be sent; if this option is selected, an additional option is added to the screen: Should this e-mail address receive a “no activity” notice when no summary noticing occurs?
    • If Yes, the Daily Summary Report e-mail will include the message “no transactions found for this time period” if no activity occurs in the cases for which the e-mail address is configured to receive summary notices. 
    • If No, then no e-mail will be generated when there is no activity in the cases.

In what format should notices be sent to this e-mail address?

Controls the format of the e-mails – either HTML or Text. HTML is the preferred format.

Show all cases for this e-mail address?

Displays a list of all of the cases for which the e-mail address is configured to receive NEFs.
Add additional cases for noticing Allows you to add cases in which you are not an active participant, but would like to receive NEFs. There is no free look associated with these Notices.  (PACER fees apply.)
These cases will send notice per filing. (default method) An e-mail will be sent for each individual NEF.
These cases will send notice as a summary report. (alternate method) One daily summary e-mail notice that lists all the filings for that day will be sent.
  • To receive notice in additional cases that interest you, enter the case number(s) in the Add Additional Cases for Noticing text field in the bottom right pane and then either click Enter or Find This Case.
  • After selecting the appropriate case(s), click Add case(s). This will add the case(s) to the list of cases in the default method of service list (the first list of cases).
  • You can now cut and paste case numbers.
  • The Maintain Your E-mail Account and Maintain User Accounts/E-mail Information screens now provide for each e-mail address a complete list of all cases for which that e-mail address is configured to receive electronic notice.

Removing an E-mail Address 

  • To remove an e-mail address,  click on the address on the left pane.

  • This will cause the e-mail address to display in a text field on the right pane, along with all the configuration options and case lists (if any) associated with the e-mail address.

  • Remove the e-mail address from the text field. If you want to change the e-mail address to a different one,immediately type the new address in the text field.

  • If you click anywhere outside the text field while a complete e-mail address is not in the text field, all of the configuration options and case lists will disappear from the screen, and the previous e-mail address and settings will be removed.
