Email settings are used for all emailing activities within the application instance.

SMTP host is the name of the host where your MTA is running. If your host requires authentication, check the Use authorization box, and fill in the Username and Password fields.

The 'From' address is the address that will be used as the from address on each email. The 'From' name is an optional field with which to specify an alias—or 'personal' name—to display as the email sender.

When you are finished with your email settings, you can test them by clicking the icon. This will attempt to send an email to your email address using the settings you have entered.
