Admin Messages

The top status bar of the Administration Panel will show you how many unread messages you have.

You can click on the message to read, reply, or delete. Administrator will get notification messages whenever a new user is created and new content is submitted.

The default message configuration are shown here.

Go to Messages -> Configuration to change the defaults.

If you lock inbox, then people can not send you messages. You might want to set "Mail me on new message" so you get an email message whenever you receive a private message on the site. You might also want to set Auto Purge Messages to a much higher number of days, so that Joomla don't automatically start deleting your messages without you reading them.

Sending Mass Email

A SuperAdministrator can send mass mail to any group by Components -> Mass Mail.
