Site collection settings
When configuring JungleMail you can decide which functions you are going to use. This way, you get the possibility to only activate those functions you need. This ensures the smoothest performance of JungleMail.
In this tutorial, you will learn what these included options are and how to activate them. All of them can be managed globally in Central Administration settings and locally per site collection in the site collection settings. If you want to know how to let Central Administration settings be overridden by site collection settings, scroll down to the bottom of this tutorial.
The options described in this tutorial:
- Embedded Images
- Unprocessed Email Placeholders
- JungleMail History
- JungleMail Tracker
- JungleMail Tracker Data Pseudonymization (Enterprise feature)
- JungleMail Subscription
- Subscriptions Look and Feel
- JungleMail Subscription Page URL

- Recurrent Newsletter Settings
- Email Importance Settings
- Built-in Templates
- Layout Templates
- Newsletter Archive
- Newsletter Types (Enterprise feature)
- Newsletter Approval (Enterprise feature)

Note: you might see some features or options enabled by default and marked in grey. This is because they inherit their settings from Central Administration settings. To learn how you can override these settings, scroll down to the bottom of this tutorial.
1. Embedded Images
Once you have made your way to the site collection settings you can enable image embedding into email content.
Note that image embedding increases the size of emails, especially if you use more than one image. Your sending performance will also be affected.
2. Unprocessed Email Placeholders
If enabled, this feature removes from an email any placeholders that JungleMail is unable to process (e.g., if the corresponding SharePoint list has been moved or renamed).
3. JungleMail History
If you want to store previously completed JungleMail jobs you should enable JungleMail history.
Note: when JungleMail History is enabled every single sent email will be stored in your SharePoint. This will significantly increase your content database size. We recommend not to enable this particular feature unless history is a strict requirement for you.
4. JungleMail Tracker
If you want to track which recipients open emails and the links within your emails you should enable this feature.
In the additional settings,
5. JungleMail Tracker Data Pseudonymization

6. JungleMail Subscription
If you want your recipients to be able to subscribe and unsubscribe to your emails, and you want to be able to manage the subscriptions, you should enable this functionality.
7. Subscriptions Look and Feel
