Article summary


The option on how to send emails is per user, not per company/branch. To change how your user account sends emails, click User Preference on the home screen or go to File->

Users-> Modify User-> User Preferences Tab-> Email Tab. All email options use the CenPoint email form to compose your email, default in recipients (i.e., Billing contacts, quote prepared for, etc.) attach documents etc. The only thing that changes is how it sends behind the scenes. Emails are logged according to your branch settings.

 Direct SMTP

'Direct SMTP' uses a direct connection to your email server and uses your email username and password to authorize email out of CenPoint.

For sending email with a direct SMTP connection, please use the following link for instructions on initial set up: Email Set Up

Go to Users-> Select User-> User Preference Tab->Email Tab-> Select Direct SMTP from the dropdown list.
