The Mail Account feature on the navigation pane enables you to configure an outgoing mail account for sending emails through the Kyvos Manager and Kyvos. For the proper working of the email function, the server must have a valid working email account for sending email messages. The mail server and port defined for SMTP must be accessible from the Kyvos Manager server and Kyvos.
