The EMails setup screen allows you to setup Dolibarr to send EMails and to test your setup.
 
= Setup parameters =
This is explanation of all setup parameters:
 
== Disable globally all emails sendings (test mode or demo) ==
Set this to No. If you set to yes (for a demo system for example), no more mail will be sent.
 
== Method to send emails ==
* The default method is '''PHP mail function'''. This means that Dolibarr use your PHP to send emails.
* If your email sending server needs authentication, you must choose '''SMTP/SMTPS socket library''', validate, this will make the field login or password appears on this page.
 
== Hostname or ip address of SMTP/SMTPS sending server ==
Name or IP address of the server that send mail. It is usually an name like smtp.xxx.zzz provided by your Internet Service Provider.
 
For example: smtp.gmail.com, smtp.aol.com, smtp.free.fr, smtp.myprovider.com
 
== Port of SMTP/SMTPS sending server ==
If the email sending server use the standard port (25), you can let the field empty.
 
Par exemple: 25 (SMTP standard), 465 (SMTPS gmail)
 
== SMTP Authentification ID ==
Visible if you have choose '''SMTP/SMTPS socket library''' as sending method. Put here your login.
 
== SMTP Authentification Password ==
Visible if you have choose '''SMTP/SMTPS socket library''' as sending method. Put here your password.
 
== Usage of TLS (SSL) ==
Some emails servers require SSL encrypted communication (For example the SMTP server of Google smtp.gmail.com). It's SMTPS.
 
The only method that support this protocol is '''SMTP/SMTPS socket library'''. You can enable cryptography by setting this parameter to Yes.
 
Note: SSL functions must be available in your PHP. If not, you probably forget to install the '''openssl''' module of PHP.
