Email Options
There are 2 choices for sending emails:
1) Using an external email client (e.g. Outlook). Clicking an email address simply launches Outlook's Compose window. No record of the email is kept in the system. No setup is required beyond setting "Enable Email" to Yes.
2) Using your own email servers. Emails are sent through your SMTP servers. A record of the email will appear on the recipient's record (recommended). Follow the instructions on this page to configure this.
Older systems may still be using the legacy option of using our servers. Due to email providers increasing SPAM protection we recommend upgrading to option 2. It is no longer possible to select this option if it is not already enabled.
General Email Setup
1) Note the Sending email address is the one entered for the organisation in System Settings.
2) Set 'Use external email client' to 'Use Charitylog'.
3) Enter your organisation's email footer, disclaimer and legal text in the 'Email footer' box. This will be appended to the end of every email sent from Charitylog.
4) Enter the SMTP server settings:
SMTP Server Address (e.g. mail.example.com) SMTP Server Username (e.g. noreply@example.com) SMTP Server Password SMTP Server Port SMTP Server Protocol (e.g. None, TLS, SSL)
