Compatibility

FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
• Sending mail using an email application is not supported in Custom Web Publishing or in
FileMaker
Server scheduled scripts.
• FileMaker Server scheduled scripts support sending mail via SMTP. However, if you attach
a file, that file needs to be in a folder that FileMaker
Server is allowed to export to. For more
information, see Get(DocumentsPath) function.
• FileMaker WebDirect does not support the Perform without dialog or Attach File options.
• To send email, you must have an internet connection. In addition, to send mail through an
email application, you must have the following configurations.
Windows:
• A [Mail] section in the Win.ini file.
• Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook installed and configured properly.
OS X:
• OS X Mail or Microsoft Outlook installed to send email with FileMaker Pro.
• Internet system preferences configured for use with one of the supported mail
applications.
• If you select Multiple emails and Collect addresses across found set, FileMaker Pro
generates an email message for every record in the found set. Each message is addressed
to everyone specified in the TO, CC and BCC boxes for every record in the found set.
• You can create an Adobe PDF or a Microsoft Excel file from your data to send as an
attachment. For more information, see
Save Records As PDF and Save Records As Excel.
• The Send Mail script step does not control the font’s appearance. Use the email client to
make any changes to the font.
• FileMaker Pro sends email messages as plain text. To edit the message's contents and
formatting, choose to send the message through an email client and do not select the
Perform without dialog option. You can then edit the message within the email client
before it is sent.
