01 Different Sending Modes

Go to Settings → Mailbox Settings → Channels → select the channel → Mailbox tab → Sending mode.

01 Send directly from the channel's eDesk address

This uses the channel email address as the From address.

02 Send from own email address via SMTP

This sends messages via the email client-server i.e. if you connect a Gmail account, eDesk connects to Gmails’ SMTP server to send the message.

Enter the mail provider's Host, Connection type, Port, and your username and password, and the From email address will show as your email address

This setup would be recommended when using your own Customer Support email with eDesk

03 Send from own email address via eDesk

This sends an email showing your address but using eDesk servers.

The From name and email address will show as My Company
