Working with the Outbox

The outbox is the server that handles the outgoing emails. Each mail host has one server performing this function. Neurons for ITSM comes with a default outbox so you do not need to create it. We recommend that you only use this one outbox.

You can modify the settings of the outbox.

1.From the Configuration Console, click Configure > Email Configuration > Servers to open the Email Configuration workspace.

2.Click the record link under the Mail Host column. The Email Configuration window appears.
