    Basic email services and features

    • Mail servers maintained by ServiceNow.
      • Encrypt mail with opportunistic TLS (Transport Layer Security) if supported by your mail servers.

        If your internal mail servers send and receive messages via a TLS-encrypted channel, ServiceNow mail servers support that communication.

      • Provide a dedicated mailbox for your instance.
    • Pre-configured email accounts to connect to ServiceNow mail servers.
      • An SMTP account sends email to your primary Mail Exchange (MX) server from your instance email address of instance@service-now.com.
      • A POP3 account receives email sent to your instance email address of instance@service-now.com.
    • High availability features from ServiceNow datacenters.
    • Spam detection for incoming email.

    Administrators who want to use basic email services can do so by enabling the email properties for sending and receiving email.
