Email Setup

TransActPOS provides email capability within a variety of applications.  Select the Mercury Icon and indicate the following pieces of information.
 
  • TransActPOS Email is the default setting and enables if you have an internet connection on your workstation and your ISP does not require authentication.
  • SMTP Server  is utilized if your ISP requires authentication. Enter the appropriate SMTP Email Server, Email User Name and the Email User Password for your account. Call your ISP for assistance.
     

    SMTP Email Server

    The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Email Server is a configuration setting within all pop Email applications.  The SMTP server setting must be configured correctly or outgoing mail will not be sent.  Typically, this service is also provided by your incoming POP3 server.
     

    Email Address

    The Email Address field will be attached to the outgoing mail as the default "From:" address.
     

    Email user Name and Password

    The indicated user name and password must coincide with the indicated SMTP account.  System errors, when sending email, are typically related to this relationship not being set correctly.
