Support: Email Setup Issues

Well I have managed to get simple invoices up and running but cant seem to figure out how to configure it to work with the email side of things. i am running live hosted by godaddy and have everything else working fine, but every time i try to send email i get various errors. as a matter of fact i have already read the other topics on email issues with simple invoices and have had every error message they have at various points of trying to configure it with my smtp server with go daddy. i need help :(

Hi Colin,

I'm not familiar with godaddy email setup but you most likely need to enter your email username and password in the email section in config/config.php - refer section below

#####################
/* Email configs */
#####################
$email_host = "localhost"; // specify main and backup server - separating with ;
$email_smtp_auth = false; // turn on SMTP authentication
//$email_smtp_auth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
#if authentication is required for the smtp server please add the username and password in the two options below
$email_username = ""; // SMTP username
$email_password = ""; // SMTP password

// The following two variables are referenced in /modules/invoices/email.php which uses the new PHPMailer v2.10 Beta 1 (internal version still at v2.0 RC 2)
// Backwards compatibility maintained even if the following 2 variables are omitted as with retaining an old config.php - Ap.Muthu
$email_smtpport = 25; // Default 25 - use 465 for secure ssl
$email_secure = ""; // one among '', 'ssl', or 'tls' - used by PHPMailer class in modules/include/mail
$email_ack = false; // true means sender's EMail ID will be used as the Return receipt EMail ID - used by PHPMailer class in modules/include/mail


let us know how you go

Cheers
