How to set up email in SugarCRM

The email functionality in SugarCRM has some sophisticated options. On one hand you can send emails from your account at SugarCRM provided you’ve specified the right settings. If you haven’t done that already proceed to Admin -> Email Settings. In the general case your settings should look like this:

mail

Select the checkbox next to Use SMTP Authentication and enter the corresponding username and password. You can use an mail account at SiteGround for sending mails. At the end click Save. Now you’ll be able to send mails right from SugarCRM.

Alternatively, you can use the predefined settings for Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft Exchange accounts.
