alert manager help Setting up Email alertsIn the settings dialog, is an email tab. From this tab you can configure the settings associated with sending email alerts. In order to use email alerts, you will need to check the "Enable Email Alerts" check box. If you do not have outlook (not outlook express) installed, you will need to specify SMTP server settings to send email from. To do this, enable the "Use SMTP" check box. The first two field specify the SMTP server to use, and what email address i-Catcher Alert will say the email has come from. Note that some ISPs may not allow you to send emails from a fake email address, such as alerts@icatcher.monitor so you should put your real email address in the "From" field. If you do not know the address of your ISPs SMTP (outgoing email) server, you will need to either ask them, or search your ISP's website for the relevant information. Some ISPs allow more flexibility in email sending if you authenticate first. i-Catcher Alert supports authenticated SMTP connections, and if you use them, you should enable "Use authenticated SMTP" and enter your username and password for your ISPs SMTP server into the username and password fields. Once all the relevant settings are filled in, click on "OK" to confirm them, and ensure "Send Email Alerts" is enabled in the main window of i-Catcher Alert.
