Send notifications on Test Suite completions
-
Send password change notifications

- Host

The hostname of the email server
- Port
-
The email server port to use
- From
-
the from email address that Examine should use to send emails
- Username & Password
-
The username and password fields are required to login to the mail server to send emails
- Connection timeout
-
The connection timeout specifies the socket connection timeout value in milliseconds. Default is infinite timeout
- Read timeout
-
The read timeout specifies the socket I/O timeout value in milliseconds. Default is infinite timeout
If the email server is configured to use SSL/TLS, then enable the ‘Use SSL/TLS’ By default, ‘Trust server certificate’ option is enabled, which means that Examine will accept any server provided certificate for SSL connection. This option is useful when using a test email server that uses a self-signed certificate. It is recommended to NOT use this option for production systems and instead explicitly specify the server certificate to use by clicking on the link. (See section on how to configure Keystores)
The Check Server Identity option allows Examine to verify the certificate provided by the server contains the correct host name during SSL negotiation. By default it is unchecked to not perform this validity check.
If you have a Gmail accout, it is easy to setup it up as the main Email server to send email notifications.
