Use the Email Account form to configure email accounts that manage outgoing (Sender) and incoming (Receiver) email. You specify email addresses to send from and to reply to, SMTP host information, User IDs, passwords, and more. When you configure email for your application, you reference the Email Account name in the email listener's Account Information field so the listener can get the information it needs to route incoming and outgoing messages.

Optionally, click Select Email Provider at the top of the rule form to select from a list of commonly used email providers, such as Google Gmail and Yahoo mail. When you make a selection and click OK, some form fields, such as Host, Port, and Protocol, automatically populate. You can edit any information that automatically populates the fields. Be aware, however, that the edited information on the form may no longer accurately represent the provider.
