Configuring the Outbound and the Inbound Mail Settings
In the Process Manager portal, you can configure your inbound and your outbound mail settings. To configure your mail settings, you must do the following tasks:
Step 1 | Configure the outbound and the inbound email settings in application properties. | These mail settings let you specify the outbound mail settings for email communication to and from ServiceDesk. These mail settings also let you specify the settings for the Inbox monitor tool. This tool lets you monitor a specific mailbox for the incidents that users submit to ServiceDesk by email. |
Step 2 | Configure additional outbound email settings in master settings. | Several features, such as routing rules and report scheduling, require additional configurations if emails are to be sent. Also, for the SendEmail action to work, you must set the Master Setting for the SMTP server. |
