Specify Email Settings

On the Email Settings dialog, you can specify the following email settings:

• Mail server
• Subject title
• Email senders
• Email recipients

You can also enable and define your proxy settings. These settings apply to all email alert notifications and can be modified at any time.

After you establish your email settings, you can test the settings using the Test Email button. After a job runs successfully or fails, you will not receive an email alert if you have provided the invalid settings. Therefore, testing the email information that you have provided validates the settings and tries to send an email using the specified settings. If the email settings are valid, you receive success message. Otherwise, you receive a failure message.
