Setting up Email Reminders

This is the server used to send your email. It is usually prefixed by "mail" or "smtp". This information will be available on your email host's website. Search for details on the "Outgoing" or SMTP mail server.

For example the gmail server is smtp.gmail.com (as shown above) or hotmail is smtp.live.com

 

For Bp Allied Live Fully Hosted users, please contact Bp Allied Support so that they can set this up for your practice.

 

If sending mail from Outlook.com or Live.com then Microsoft will at some point need you to sign into your account and verify it. This message is sent randomly as we have no way of getting around this. So, if you see this message, then please sign into your Outlook.com or Live.com email account to validate it. After doing this you should be able to continue sending from Bp Allied.

 

 

Please follow this link to see details about this from Microsoft's support - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows/outlook/verify-account

 

This is the username and password used to access your email.

This is the address that the email is to be replied to. It would be usual for this to be a central email address, for example, admin@yourmaildomain.com.au or reception@yourmaildomain.co.nz.

 

If sending via Gmail, the reply email address will not be viewed by the email recipient until they click reply. Prior to that the Outgoing Mail Server username will be the email address that is viewable.

The SMTP Port is the channel that the mail is transferred using and will be dictated by your email host along with whether SSL is used.

Port 465 has now been deprecated in both Bp Allied and the Bp Allied Scheduler.

The timeout indicates the time allocated to trying to send a message before it stops trying, if, for some reason the message cannot be sent. Most email hosts also have recommendations on this timeframe. Google suggests between 1 and 5 minutes.
