Sending email
A few basic settings are necessary in order to send email messages.
Network parameters
If you want to send via a mail server on the Internet, it is important that the basic
network settings are correct. Check under
Basic settings » Network
especially
whether
Gateway
and
DNS server
are specified correctly.
Mail server access
All mail server-specific settings can be made under
Communication paths » Mail.
The authentication method commonly used today is SSL/TLS. Further tips on the
specific settings for the most common e-mail providers can be found in the info
area under

Creating an email message
To create an email message, click the
Add
button under
Actions

appear for a new action.
Here you can determine the name for the action and what the trigger should be (e.g.
the
ON
state of the input). A detailed description of the possibilities can be found in
the
Actions
section.
Select
E-mail message
