Choose your Outgoing Email configuration
In Business Central version 18 and later, a new feature for outgoing email was added called 'Email Accounts'.
We recommend that you use the new way of setting up e-mail via 'Email Accounts' when setting up a new GEDI Freemium.
Both 'Email accounts' and 'SMTP Mail Setup' is compatible with GEDI Freemium. 'Email Accounts" have priority if your environment have both configured.
'Email Accounts' have more functionality build into Business Central in Standard, and GEDI Freemium can take full advantage of these new functionalities.
New advantages of using 'Email Accounts' is for example;
Possibility to setup multiple outgoing e-mail accounts.
Adding scenarios, using different outgoing e-mails per document type.
Overview in Business Central of email sent out as well as preview of them.
Easier setup of MS 365 Shared mailboxes.
Reply or forward a already sent e-mail using the inbuilt preview of the email.
