Enter email settings

Enter email settings if you want to send email notifications when purchase orders require authorisation.

Basic authentication will be retired for Outlook.com and Gmail in September 2024. This means if you use SMTP to send emails using Outlook.com or Gmail, you may need to re-configure your email service or Sage software.

If you are setting up System Administration E-Mail Settings to send emails for purchase order authorisation, you will need to set up your email account to use SMTP and use an App Password.

To find out more about the authentication changes, see:

Open: System Administration > Messaging > E-Mail Settings.
