Email Settings
August 26, 2020Overview
Email settings allow us to set up SMTP and IMAP configurations with outside email services.
In other words, you can send email out from ClientTether from your email account, whether it be GMail, Outlook, iCloud, etc. This can help boost your deliverability rates and keeps a record of all sent emails in your email account Sent folder.
Always make sure, when you use this feature to check the box in the top that says enable SMTP and IMAP as you set up your connection.
Make sure you have done everything with your email service to allow SMTP and IMAP options to be available. This differs by service, so you will need to verify with your email provider anything you need to do on your end.
If you need to find out who hosts your email service please follow the directions in this link.

This connection will allow you to send emails directly from your Microsoft Outlook account via ClientTether.
