The Email Settings dialog box lets you configure your Avid editing application so that it can
notify you by e-mail when any of the following operations completes:
•Render
• Export
• Consolidate or Transcode
n
Some mobile telephone services can deliver e-mail as a text message or notify you by text
message when an e-mail has been received. If your service includes this feature, consider using it
as a convenient way to receive your notifications.
Option Description
Server Settings Use the options in this area to define the server settings that your Avid editing
application uses to communicate with your e-mail account and send e-mail notifications.
Check the documentation for your e-mail application, or talk to your internet service
provider or information technology department, to obtain the information you need to
define these settings correctly.
Your e-mail account must use the SMTP protocol for outgoing mail.
SMTP Server Defines the SMTP (outgoing mail) server address for your e-mail account. Typically, this
address has one of the following formats:
smtp.service_name.com or
smtp.mail.service_name.com .
Port Defines the port that the SMTP server uses. The default value, 25, is used by several
common e-mail services, but your server might require a different port number.
Authenticate with
username/password
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application includes username and
password information to authenticate any e-mail it sends. Type the username and
password for your e-mail account in the Username and Password text boxes. Some
e-mail services require authentication as a security measure.
Store password after
closing project
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application saves the password in the
Password text box when the current project closes. This eliminates the need to re-enter
the password each time you open a project.
Use SSL When this option is selected, your Avid editing application uses the Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) security protocol when sending e-mail notifications. Some e-mail services
require this as a security measure.
