The Email service is required whenever you specify an "EmailRecipient" in your station or application. For example, you can route both alarms and reports via email using the EmailRecipient, as shown below.
The EmailRecipient component for alarms is located in the email palette and is different from the EmailRecipient that is used
for reports (located in the ReportService palette). It is important to use the appropriate EmailRecipient component, as indicated
in the illustration, below.
The EmailService property sheet view is shown below and includes the following properties:
-
Status
This read-only view shows the current state of the EmailService ({ok}, {disabled}, {fault}, or other.)
-
Fault Cause
This read-only field displays an error message if the EmailService is in a fault state.
-
Status
This field allows you to enable (
true) or disable (false) the EmailService.
The default view of the EmailService, the EmailAccountManager view, is shown below. This view displays a table of all the OutgoingAccounts and IncomingAccounts. Double-click on an account in the table to display the (default) property sheet view of the account.
