The software's integrated email system allows you to send Email messages , Work Order documents, Credit Slips, Receivable Statements, and Purchase Orders - directly from within the software - to any contact with an email address. Or you may simply type in an email address if one is not recorded on a contact card.
The software's email allows you to attach any number of computer files to an email message, just as you can with most other email programs. The most common use of this in the software will be to email exported reports. (See Note 4 below)
You can use the software's unique Preview tool to see how your message will look when the recipient opens it in his email program.
The software errors and support requests may be sent directly to Customer Support via email.
The software allows all workstations in one business Location to share one email account.
Service Reminders have not changed - you must still export your Service Reminders list to Microsoft Word to do an email-merge. Instructions may be found in Emailing Service Reminders.
NOTE 1: The software is not a full-fledged email client like Microsoft Outlook Express, because there is no facility to receive in-coming email. For this reason, each business Location will need to maintain an email client program (like Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express) on one of the computer workstations at the business Location. The email client program will be used to accept incoming email, while all workstations are capable of sending outgoing email only.
NOTE 2: You may NOT use a free browser-based email service such as Hotmail or Yahoo Mail as your email account. The software requires an SMTP capable email server, such as the service generally provided by your internet service provider.
NOTE 3: The software sends HTML formatted email only. That means your email recipients must be capable of receiving HTML email - as opposed to simply being able to read text-only email messages. Very few companies and individuals have legacy email systems too old to read HTML email.
NOTE 4: The software limits the total size of attached files to 5 MB.
