For those of you out there trying to get Method to send out emails, just remember you have to setup the “Default Email Preferences” first. Don`t worry this is a simple one-time process.
Let`s get to it! Follow the simple steps below and you`ll be on your way in no-time.
- In Method, click Customize.
- Click the My Account tab link.
Under the Default Email Preferences you’re going to need to enter some authentication details giving Method the right permission to start sending emails. We do this once so it won’t ask every time. Kind of the same way Outlook does things.
- In the Email Server address field enter the email server address.
Typically: replace “www.” with “mail.” from your domain
E.g. mail.yourdomain.com
- In the Email User Name field enter the email user name you require to sign in with.
Typically: the part of your email before the domain (before the @)
In some cases it could be the full email
- In the Email Password you simply enter the password for this email.
- Click Save Settings.
If you’re unsure about any of these details contact your Internet service provider (ISP) directly to obtain them. Changes might occur if you change your ISP password, or the name of your mail server (e.g. mail.example_company.com).
That’s it! Once the settings have been saved you know how the saying goes “Set it and forget it”. Method now knows it has your permission to send emails from this account.
Hope this helps!
