Mail Settings - Set up
The Mail Settings section is where the mail settings are set up. This al= lows for emails to be generated for the various features that need to send = out emails, such as for emailed sales receipts, email alerts, and password = expiration alerts.
The user selects their email provider. The SMTP host id/name, which is t= he system that is to receive the email,is pre populated for gmail and yahoo= . If a different email provider is used, enter the SMTP Host field.
Enter the username and password for the email account.
The reply email address can also be entered if different from that enter= ed above.
Once the mail server is set up, password expiration alerts can be sent t= o the employees (if emails are provided for the employees), as well as to u= se the features CRM Builder , Go Green and Ema= il Alerts. Without having the mail setting these features cannot be imp= lemented.
NOTE: If POS transactions involving email receipts (such as CRM Builder,= GoGreen or Dwolla) are attempted without mail settings being set up on the= CAS, the cashier will get a error "POS is offline and receipt cannot be em= ailed".
