Specify Email Settings

From the Email Settings dialog, you can specify email settings such as the:

• Mail server
• Subject title
• Who the email is coming from
• 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, it is too late to receive an email alert for having the wrong settings. Therefore, testing the email information that is provided validates the settings and tries to send an email using the specified settings. If the email settings are valid, you receive an email indicating so. If the email settings are invalid, you receive a failure message.
