Let's discuss and try to find out uses of SMTP Related Objects in Navision.

A Navision Database contain following SMTP Objects -

Table - SMTP Mail Setup

This article is part of the Series. Please Refer Table of Content here.

Form/Page is used to enter details in SMTP Mail setup table.



Here you can enter details related to Your SMTP Mail Server. This details will be used while sending mails via Navision.

Authentication Mode and other details will be based on your server.
Anonymous - is mostly used as Authentication mode.

Till NAV 2009 R2 Navision SMTP Mail Setup does not contain the port number. It used to use default port 25 for sending mails.


we will discuss in future about the hotfix that was released by Microsoft for Customized port till NAV 2009 R2.

With release of NAV 2013 Navision SMTP Setup contain a field Port Number, in case your smtp server is configured on a customized port.
