General & Troubleshooting
Overview
The software can send emails (results, notifications, etc.) using your email account. You need to configure your email settings under Settings → Email.
Using Outlook
If you use Microsoft Outlook, the software uses your default Outlook account to send emails.
- Make sure Outlook is installed and configured on your computer
- Verify the correct account is set as your default — open Outlook, go to File → Account Settings, and check which account is marked as default
- In the software, go to Settings → Email and select the Outlook option
Using SMTP (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
For non-Outlook email accounts, use the SMTP option:
- In the software, go to Settings → Email
- Select SMTP
- Enter your email settings:
| Setting | Gmail | Yahoo |
|---|---|---|
| SMTP Server | smtp.gmail.com | smtp.mail.yahoo.com |
| Port | 587 | 587 |
| Encryption | TLS | TLS |
| Username | Your full Gmail address | Your full Yahoo address |
| Password | App Password (see below) | App Password |
Gmail App Passwords
Gmail requires an App Password instead of your regular password:
- Go to your Google Account settings at myaccount.google.com
- Navigate to Security → 2-Step Verification (must be enabled)
- At the bottom, find App Passwords
- Generate a new app password for “Mail” and use it in the software
Troubleshooting
- Emails not sending? Double-check your SMTP server, port, and password
- Emails going to spam? Ask recipients to check their spam/junk folder and add your email address to their contacts
- New computer? Email settings do not transfer automatically — you will need to reconfigure them
If you are still having trouble, open a support ticket with a screenshot of your email settings and any error messages.
