Tip
Gmail only allows Connect to be used as an SMTP client when "Access for
less secure apps" is enabled in the Google account settings.
l Port: The specified port number will be added to the host name, for example:
smtp.mandrillapp.com:465.
Note
If the mail server supports it, the connection will be encrypted without the need
to send the server a STARTTLS instruction when port 465 is used.
l Use authentication: Check if a user name and password are needed to send
emails through the host.
l Send STARTTLS: Enabled if authentication is checked. With STARTTLS the client
negotiates with the mail server to use some form of encryption, usually a version of
Transport Layer Security (TLS). Since this improves security it is recommend to
enable this option if you use port 25 (the default port), 2525, or 587.
Note that the email will not be sent if the SMTP server does not support TLS or SSL
(an older encryption type).
This option is ignored when port 465 is used.
l User: Enter the user name used to connect to the SMTP server.
l Restore Defaults: There are three default presets, each for working with a different Email
Service Provider (ESP): Mandrilapp.com, Sendgrid and Mailgun (see "Using an ESP with
PlanetPress Connect" on page1482).
l Apply: Apply the new settings without closing the Preferences dialog.
The Email preferences also provides you with buttons to :
l Restore Defaults. This option restores the preferences to Defaults. This applies to the
current Preferences page only, but not other Preferences.
l Apply: This option applies the settings made within the current Preferences page, but
does not close the Preferences dialog.
