This guide explains how to set up an outgoing email account (SMTP) and define the address that will be used as the default sender for your communications.
To configure the sender email address, follow these steps:
1. Access Configuration
Access the email account configuration screen (usually via the list of existing connections or an "Add" button).
2. Identification and Sender Data
In the Outgoing section, fill in the following fields:
- In the Connection Name field, assign an identifying name to this configuration (e.g., "Corporate SMTP").
- In the Sender Email field, enter the full email address you want to use as the sender for outgoing messages.
3. Server Details
Provide the technical details for connecting to the outgoing mail server:
- In the Server field, enter your SMTP server address (e.g.,
smtp.office365.com). - Enter login credentials in the SMTP Login and SMTP Password fields.
- Select the appropriate Encryption option (None, SSL, or TLS) and specify the Port (e.g., 587 or 465).
4. Activation and Default Settings
Manage activation and default usage of this configuration:
- Check the Active box to enable this configuration.
- Check the Use as default sender box if you want the address entered in the Sender Email field to be used as the default address for all system replies and communications.
5. Verification and Saving
- Click on the Verify Connection button to test that the system can connect to the SMTP server with the provided credentials.
- Once verification is successful, save the configuration to apply changes.
