How to: Set Up SMTP E-Mail
To send e-mails from Microsoft Dynamics NAV using an SMTP server, you must fill the SMTP Mail Setup window.
E-mail sending is used for several features in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, such as when notifying workflow users about a workflow step. For more information, see Workflow.
E-mails that are sent from Microsoft Dynamics NAV are based on e-mail templates that define which fields and text to show in the e-mail. The e-mail template is an HTML file that you can export, edit in Microsoft Word, for example, and then import. For more information, see How to: Manage Notification Templates.
