The Email Settings screen contains all settings relating to forwarding PhonePad messages by email.
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.
|
|

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