2.1. Configuring Email

Click on Tools->User Options. On the General tab, the following options need to be set properly in order to send email out. Contact your company's IT department to get the settings if you do not already know them.

  • Email Address: This is your email address. It should look something like myname@mycompany.com.
  • Display Name: This is your name, as you'd like it to appear when you send emails.
  • SMTP Server: This is your mail server. Often it's something like mail.mycompany.com.
  • Port: In most cases, you can leave this alone. Some email providers, however, do not allow emails via the default port, and you may need to change it.
  • Username: Most email providers do not require this, but if they do, provide the required username.
  • Password: Most email providers do not require this, but if they do, provide the required password.
There is also a tab called Email Signature. If you'd like to attach a signature automatically to your emails, click the Use Email Signature checkbox, and then enter your signature in the area below it.
