Configuring the Email Settings on Page 1

  1. Choose an email method from the Select a method for sending email box in the top left of the page.

    1. For the Order Manager, continue with step 2.

    2. For the External Stack Controller, skip to step 3.

    3. If Default Email Program is selected, skip to step 3.

    4. If Microsoft Outlook  is selected, skip to step 3.

  2. The Enter Options for box is pre-selected for Default Settings. Select the "default" email settings first. To set different options for a Specific Shopping Cart or Specific Workstation, choose those selections, one by one, after completing the Default Settings and follow the same sequence of steps.

    1. The Settings for which server box is pre-selected for Normal, or the primary server.

      1. Complete the fields in the Email Settings box. (Hover the cursor over each field for explanatory pop-up text, or refer to the description of these areas, as discussed in the previous section of this topic.)

      2. Complete the fields in the SMTP Settings box. These fields are global, there are no corresponding cart-based parameters. ((Hover the cursor over each field for explanatory pop-up text, or refer to the description of these areas, as discussed in the previous section of this topic.)

    2.  If an Alternate, or backup server will be used, click that radio button and repeat steps 2.a.i. - 2.a.ii.

  3. Check the Require encryption ( SSL ) box if your email provider or server requires the use of encryption, or Secure Socket Layers (SSL).  

  4. At the top of the screen, check [Allow email address changes when viewing messages right before they are sent], if users should be able to change the destination address when sending email through SEOM.

  5. Also at the top of the screen, the [View/Add/Edit Email Templates] button opens the Edit Email Templates screen, where the user can create or edit their own email templates or edit any of SEOM's standard email templates. It is not necessary to make any changes at the Edit Email Templates screen as part of the program setup, however you may want to add or edit email templates later when you are more familiar with them. See the article, Email Template Editor for more information.

  6. Once you've completed these steps, click the [Test Email Settings] button to verify the settings that have been entered are functional.
