How to check mail not trigger for prod machines
To check mail on production machines without triggering any automated workflows or notifications, you can try the following methods:
- Use a temporary email address: Create a temporary email address specifically for testing purposes. This way, you can check the mail without triggering any automated workflows or notifications.
- Use a mail client with a "read-only" mode: Some mail clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, have a "read-only" mode that allows you to view emails without triggering any automated workflows or notifications.
- Use a mail client with a "test" mode: Some mail clients, such as Gmail, have a "test" mode that allows you to view emails without triggering any automated workflows or notifications.
- Use a mail client with a "dry run" mode: Some mail clients, such as Microsoft Exchange, have a "dry run" mode that allows you to simulate sending an email without actually sending it.
- Use a third-party mail client: Consider using a third-party mail client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, that allows you to view emails without triggering any automated workflows or notifications.
- Use a mail client with a "no-notify" flag: Some mail clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, have a "no-notify" flag that allows you to view emails without triggering any automated workflows or notifications.
- Use a mail client with a "silent" mode: Some mail clients, such as Gmail, have a "silent" mode that allows you to view emails without triggering any automated workflows or notifications.
Here are some specific steps for popular mail clients:
- Microsoft Outlook:
- Go to File > Options > Advanced > Send/Receive > Uncheck "Send immediately when connected"
- Go to File > Options > Advanced > Send/Receive > Check "Read-only mode"
- Gmail:
- Go to Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Enable "Enable POP for all mail"

- Mozilla Thunderbird:
- Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Send/Receive > Uncheck "Send immediately when connected"

Remember to always test your mail client's settings before checking mail on production machines to ensure that you are not triggering any automated workflows or notifications.
