SMTP Email configuration Setting

Email configurations

Brings 4 ways for you to send emails:

(All this is quite technical. Call UniRes support for assistance, or if you understand geek talk, read on..)

1 – MAPI - Uses the WinAPI MapiSendMail to try to send the current report as an attachment.

This setting sends a standard message, with one or more attached files and a cover note. The cover note is a dialog box that allows the user to enter a list of recipients and an optional message and other sending options. It will open a dialog email sending message, waiting for a user interaction. The message will not be sent automatically. It’s up to the user to veryfy the information ofthe message and to click at the “Send” button.

This function tries to establish a session using the messaging system's shared session. If no shared session exists, it will fail sending the message.

This works pretty well if you have your default account set using MS Outlook Express, MS Outlook or Windows Live Mail. Definitely, it’s the easiest way to send your messages, because this way, FoxyPreviewer will use the default Email configuration of the computer.

2 - MAPI Alternative – Uses the WinAPI MapiSendDocuments to try to send the current report as an attachment.

The MAPISendDocuments function sends a standard message with one or more attached files and a cover note. The cover note is a dialog box that allows the user to enter a list of recipients and an optional message and other sending options.

This function tries to establish a session using the messaging system's shared session. If no shared session exists, it will fail sending the message.

Although MS says that “The use of this function is discouraged. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows.”, it’s been working well in all OS’s, from WinNT to Win 10

4 – CDO

Uses the CDO2000 component included in windows 2000 and later. It allows you to send emails using a SMTP server. All settings must be accurate in order to make this work. For example, below is the configuration for a “Hotmail” or “Live” account to send emails.

erificationSigning in with 2-Step Verification

Tip: App Passwords aren’t recommended and are unnecessary in most cases. To help keep your account secure, use "Sign in with Google" to connect apps to your Google Account.

An App Password is a 16-digit passcode that gives a less secure app or device permission to access your Google Account. App Passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on.

When to use App Passwords

Tip: iPhones and iPads with iOS 11 or up don’t require App Passwords. Instead use “Sign in with Google.”

If the app doesn’t offer “Sign in with Google,” you can either:

Use App Passwords

Switch to a more secure app or device

Create & use App Passwords

If you use 2-Step-Verification and get a "password incorrect" error when you sign in, you can try to use an App Password.

Go to your Google Account.

Select Security.

Under "Signing in to Google," select App Passwords. You may need to sign in. If you don’t have this option, it might be because:

2-Step Verification is not set up for your account.

2-Step Verification is only set up for security keys.

Your account is through work, school, or other organization.

You turned on Advanced Protection.

At the bottom, choose Select app and choose the app you using and then Select device and choose the device you’re using and then Generate.

Follow the instructions to enter the App Password. The App Password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device.

Tap Done.

Tip: Most of the time, you’ll only have to enter an App Password once per app or device, so don’t worry about memorizing it.

Why you may need an App Password

App Passwords revoked after password change

Forgot your App Password

You still can’t sign in
