Sending Email

Through the menu Uni item Bot Mail you access a mini-Mailer to send short emails.

Before you start sending, you must turn to the Mailer tab and fill in the required data for the mailer:

host (smtp) - check your regular mailer to find out the SMTP address
port - normally 25
address sender - your e-mail address
login name - to login to the SMTP server, often not required

You can also fill in the following fields for the bot to remember:

reply to - if you wish people to reply to a different address
one blind carbon copy always to - allows you to send yourself (or someone else) one copy of the e-mails the bot sends (the bot does not save these to file)

Once all this is done, you can start sending plain e-mails when you are connected to internet. Just turn to the first tab, Email, fill in the data and send! The fields for e-mail addresses allow multiple entries, separated by a comma. In the Body tab you can write the text of your e-mail, in the Attachments tab you can add and remove attachments by right clicking on the list. If something failes, or the e-mail takes too long to send, you may try hitting the abort button to stop the sending. Important: do not change the Mailer settings (tab Mailer) while the mailer is sending e-mails.

See Email and Events: EmailSend, EmailSuccess, EmailFailed if you wish to send e-mails from action scripts.
