For any program to send email, an email client must be installed on the computer. Intelli-Site is no different. Since it is the Server that sends the email, the client must be installed and configured on the Server computer. In our examples, Mozilla's Thunderbird was the client used. The concepts are the same for all email clients, but each has its own idiosyncrasies. You are responsible for your email client setup.
- Install your email client on the Server computer
- Configure your email client to send and receive mail using your email server. Verify it can send email. The email client will provide the sender email address.
- Make sure this email client is the default email client. We suggest you confirm it is brought up when attempting to send email after clicking on an email link in your web browser.
Once the email client has been installed, configured, and specified as the default client, it is not necessary to leave it up and running. When an application needs to send email, the default client will be invoked if it is not active.
