    The Email Notification wizard is designed to provide you with all the information you need to properly configure each dialog box. Here are some additional tips:
     

Outgoing SMTP Information

If you are using Outlook® or Outlook Express®, ShipGear will automatically detect your SMTP settings. If not, type in your outgoing email server (SMTP) and provide authentication information, if necessary. If you need to enter a User Name and Password, enable the "My outgoing email server requires authentication" check box, and then fill in the User Name and Password fields.

 

You can also change the port that ShipGear uses to send emails under "Outgoing email server port".

 

 

Test the SMTP Server Info

To make sure your SMTP server info is correct, click the Test button. Enter a recipient email address and click ok.

 

 

Sender Email Address

This is the email address that will be used as the "From" field on notification emails, as well as the reply-to address.

 

 

Send Mode

This setting allows you to control whether email notifications are sent with or without user interaction.
