E-Mail Accounts

Using email Sender Logic Elements requires adding email accounts to be used for email transmissions.

All email accounts are listed in a table at System > Settings > Email Accounts. The columns on the right hand side contain buttons for testing, editing and deleting email accounts. New email accounts can be configured via the "Add email account" button.

Account Settings

Clicking either the "Add email account" or "Edit" button opens a modal dialog where account settings can be accessed.

Server Settings

Just like in an email client program, an email account needs certain parameters to establish a connection to an SMTP server. They are as follows:

• Account Name:
  Name for an email account shown in LOGIKEDITOR. This name will be used in the Email Sender Logic Element when choosing an email account.

• SMTP Server Address:
  Address of the SMTP server.

• SMTP-Port:
  SMTP server port for email transmission.

• Username and Password:
  Authentication parameters. If your SMTP server requires authentification, the checkmark next to "Use Authentication" as well as username and password must be present.

• Encryption Type:
  You can choose either StartTLS or SSL for email encryption. Check the checkmark next to "Ignore non-verifiable SSL-Certificates" if no certificate check is desired.

Header Settings

Header fields for email addresses can be configured here. Fields with types "From" and "To", as well as "Cc", "Bcc" and "Reply-To" can be amended by clicking on their respective "Add" buttons. 

At least one "From"-Field must be set in order to send emails.

Testing an Email Account

To verify its configuration, an email account may be tested by sending a test email. Existing email accounts can each be tested by clicking on the "Test" button in the column on the right hand side. Furthermore, tests can be executed via the "Test" button at the upper right corner of the account configuration dialog. This may come useful if you want to test email account settings while editing. The test email has the follwing content:

Diese E-Mail wurde vom LOGIK EDITOR gesendet.
This mail was sent from the LOGIK EDITOR.

Sending a test email may take some time. A modal dialog appears which displays the transmission status where in the end the test result is shown.

Testing is available only when every parameter required for email transmissions via SMTP server is present. As long as this is not case, the "Test" button cannot be used.
