Editing Email Settings

== SME Settings ==

To setup your email account, click '''Preferences''' at the top of SME. Click the '''Email''' tab.

Note: Administrator (Admin account) requires a working SMTP outgoing email to publish dispatch to tech calendars and for outgoing emails from order status changes (automated outgoing email).  It's important to verify that the admin outgoing email is setup properly by logging in as admin and set email to SMTP and test sending out a report (for example email out a service order).

<br>This is a user setting and will be done on each SME users login. Here you can decide if emails sent from SME go out through Outlook or another email client, or if they go out through SME.

#       Log into SME as the User you need to setup.
#       Click '''Preferences'''.
#       In the Current User Preferences, select the '''Email''' tab and fill out the following fields:

<br>Check SMTP if you are sending email directly through SME.
<br>Check MAPI and when sending email from SME your email client such as Outlook will open and the email will be send from there.

<br>If checking SMTP:
*       Outgoing Email Server – Type your Exchange Server Name
*      Email login name User Name – Type your Exchange User Name
*       Proper Name – Type your users full name.
*      Email Address

* Encryption - Set the encryption as specified by your email provider

'''IF UPDATING SME AND GMAIL IS USED FOLLOW THESE FOLLOWING STEPS:'''
<br>When emailing from SME through Gmail you will need to authorize SME in Gmail. You will also need to be logged into both SME and Gmail before you can email. If you encounter errors with login credentials, you’ll need to log out of both SME, and Gmail and log back in before attempting to email. This is an Admin setting and an individual Gmail account setting.
 
Gmail – Authorizing less secure apps:
*        Log out of SME and Gmail
*         Log back into SME
*          Make Gmail settings changes
*          Log back into Gmail & SME
This is both a user level setting as well as a admin setting.
