Packages

Packages are similar to email messages. A package contains a note and optionally one or more file attachments, and is sent to specific people or groups. Files that are sent as package attachments are uploaded to a MOVEit server, and a new package notification email is sent to the recipients to inform them that a package is waiting for them. Recipients can click on the web link in this notification, sign on to MOVEit, and view the package, where they can download the files.

Packages are located within mailboxes.

Click the Packages link in the left-navigation to display the Packages page, which contains a list of your mailboxes and the Package Actions section.
