Hi @YesuJonnala ,

If a user sends an email to instance@service-now.com it should appear in the "Inbox" in your instance, and then move to "Received" folder once it has been processed.



SMTP email account is used to send emails from the instance out.



POP3 account is used to retrieve emails sent TO the instance.



If you are wanting to check if an email has been received, you could use this link and update your instance name and change the date/time range as needed:

 

https://<yourinstance>.service-now.com/sys_email_list.do?sysparm_query=sys_created_onONToday%40javascript%3Ags.daysAgoStart(0)%40javascript%3Ags.daysAgoEnd(0)
