EmailSettings

 

 

SMTP Server Settings

 

These settings are required if you want MessageSender to forward your PhonePad messages by email.

 

SMTP Server

This is the Internet address of your mail server, eg. mail.yourcompany.com or smtp.yourcompany.com.



SMTP Port

This is the port your mail server expects you to communicate on.  This is usually port 25 (but not always).



Account Name

This is the email account you want MessageSender to use.  You could use an existing account or set up a special account for MessageSender (recommended).

 

Some mail servers use "+" in place of "@" for the account name (whereas the email address uses '@').  For example, phonepad+mycompany.com instead of phonepad@mycompany.com.



Account Password

This is the password for the email account.



Confirm Password

This is the same password as above.  As the password is masked when you enter it, this is to confirm that you have entered the password correctly.



Authenticate

Click the Authenticate button to display the SMTP authentication screen.



Test

Click the Test button to test your mail server and authentication settings.

 

 

Email Templates

 

MessageSender uses templates for sending emails.  The templates specify the format of the emails and the data that needs to be included.  Default templates are included - if these don't meet your requirements then you customize these or create your own.

 

Any changes you have made to message labels (using the LabelEditor utility) will be included in the emails.

 

Phone Message Template

This is the template MessageSender uses for sending PhonePad phone messages via email.



Text Message Template

This is the template MessageSender uses for sending PhonePad text messages via email.



 

 

Sender Details

 

These are the details of the sender name and email address that MessageSender will be using to send the emails.

 

Sender Name

The Sender Name can be any name you choose, eg. PhonePad.



Sender Email

In most cases the Sender Email should be the same email address used under SMTP Settings, otherwise you may get relay errors from your mail server.

 

 

Email Subject

 

This setting tells MessageSender what it should use for each email's subject.

 

Use Message Subject

The Subject field of the message will be used for the email's subject.



Use Custom Subject

The text you enter in this field will be used for the email's subject.



Use Field for Subject

Data from the selected field will be used for the email's subject.
