SMTP Settings

Use SMTP server to send emails (checked by default)

If this option is checked, GoodSync will use the SMTP server specified below.

If this option is unchecked, GoodSync will use the default MAPI client on your computer to send emails.

Sender Email (empty by default)

Enter the email address that GoodSync will use as the sender when sending an email.

SMTP Server and Port (empty by default)

Specify the SMTP server address and port that GoodSync will use to send emails.

Server: Enter the IP address or hostname of the SMTP server.

Port: Enter the port used by the SMTP server.

Common SMTP port values:

• SMTP using STARTTLS: 587
• SMTP over TLS/SSL: 465
• Unsecured SMTP: 25

SMTP UserID and Password (empty by default)

If your SMTP server requires authentication, enter the SMTP account UserID and password.

Secure SMTP switch to TLS using STARTTLS (port 587) (unchecked by default) 

If this option is checked, GoodSync will connect to the SMTP server and issue the STARTTLS command. GoodSync will switch to TLS encryption if the server accepts the request.

If this option is unchecked, GoodSync will use an unencrypted connection.

Secure SMTP always over TLS/SSL (port 465) (unchecked by default) 

If this option is checked, GoodSync will establish a secure TLS/SSL connection to the SMTP server immediately without using STARTTLS negotiation.

If this option is unchecked, GoodSync will use an unencrypted connection.
