BTW, I did wait overnight for an e-mail to be generated after creating a new project folder. What is the usual processing time?

FollowWorkflow E-mail
Hi, I would like an e-mail sent to me every time a project is created. It seems simple, and yet... I don't get an e-mail.
Rule for: Project
Run time: Only when a record is created
Evaluation Criteria: Run under no conditions
Set action:
Send e-mail: To Rich Morris (user)
Subject: This is a new project
Do not track: selected
Am I missing something. I would like to set up more rules, but if I can't get this going... it's hopeless.
TIA, Rich

First of all, you created this as a standard workflow rule and not a scheduled one correct?
This should run immediately. Within a minute or two seconds of you creating the project you should receive the email.
Did you enable the rule after you created it?
Lastly, I would recommend putting some tokens in your email to make it more useful. For example:
Subject: Project: {$Name} has been created and is Due on {$DueDate}
If you are still having issue Rich, just shoot me an email and I can investigate with you today. Thanks!
Dangit... enabling it sure does help. Thanks!
