What are Email Reports?
Email Reports are records of email deliverability testing and the status of emails sent from the workspace or community.

Email Reports are accessed from the Email Logs section of Email Settings, at either the workspace or community level, and provide a way to confirm that emails sent through IdeaScale are being delivered successfully. See Exceptions below for a domain configuration requirement that affects deliverability.
