To specify the email server

1. Click Settings > System settings > Email server.

2. In Email service, select one of the following:

   • Custom

   • Gmail

     The Less secure apps setting must be turned on in your Gmail account. For more information, refer to https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255.

   • Yahoo Mail
   • Outlook.com

3. [Only for a custom email service] Specify the following settings:

   • In SMTP server, enter the name of the outgoing mail server (SMTP).
   • In SMTP port, set the port of the outgoing mail server. By default, the port is set to 25.
   • Select whether to use SSL or TLS encryption. Select None to disable encryption.
   • If the SMTP server requires authentication, select the SMTP server requires authentication check box, and then specify the credentials of an account that will be used to send messages. If you are not sure whether the SMTP server requires authentication, contact your network administrator or your email service provider for assistance.
4. [Only for Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Outlook.com] Specify the credentials of an account that will be used to send messages.
5. [Only for a custom email service] In Sender, type the name of the sender. This name will be shown in the From field of the email notifications. If you leave this field empty, the messages will contain the account specified in step 3 or 4.
