Question about Email Uploading

I searched, but couldn't find the answer to this. Before I just experiment with it, I thought I'd just ask as I'm sure someone out there knows the answer.

So when allowing email uploading, the help says that "SmugMug will automatically create a gallery named "email" and place your photos in it." Does this happen for each image emailed? Or for each email? Or is it just a one-time gallery like the "Watermark" gallery? Are you able to use gallery settings on it so it could be hidden, auto-watermark, etc?

Thank you in advance for any responses.

    Would have been sooooooo much easier if you just tried it :D

    One gallery. You can make any settings you want on it, just like any other gallery.

    All the emails from everyone will go into the one gallery. You will not know
    whose photos they are unless they put some info in the email body. No mater
    what instructions you give them some forget with no way to contact them.

    Surely Smugmug knows what the email address is of the senders and it's really
    needed to contact to photo owner. Wish they would expose the address
    to logged in owners.

    example here

    Well, I went with your answer and wasted time because your answer was wrong. :cry This is why I ask these things, so I don't waste time.

    Correct answer:
    You may change anything you want except the gallery name. It MUST remain 'Email' or the picture will make it to a newly created gallery called 'Email' with your default gallery settings.

    Had no idea you wanted to change the gallery title. Sorry, Samir!

    It's okay Andy. I just thought when you meant it was like every other gallery, I could do anything without limitations. I was assuming that the system remembered the galleryID for the Email gallery that it created so your answer made sense.
