To test e-mail settings, click to generate a test e-mail using the above settings. E-mail alerts have a safety limit of no more than 10 in a 60 second period. This is to ensure that the e-mail server (and Inbox) do not get flooded with e-mail if too many events are selected for e-mail alerting. When alerts are discarded because of this limit, an error event is displayed on the Event List.
