Sending email

What does a red warning sign on the Outbox folder icon mean?

When Outbox folder displays a red triangle sign, this means that there are messages that Relenta wasn't able to send, usually because the remote SMTP server returned an error. These unsent messages are highlighted in red. Click on the message subject to display the error message returned by the SMTP server.

You can resend the emails by checking the box in front of the messages highlighted in red and clicking 'Resend' button.

Why is my IMAP folder structure not copied?

Because Relenta is a multi-user, shared email client with its own folder structure and specific approach to email management and archiving which isn't designed to be compatible with other email storage solutions such as IMAP.

Why can't I add SMTP account to Relenta? The settings are correct.

Most likely this is because your email service provider or ISP does not allow sending email via their SMTP server from outside of their network. This means that when you're connected to the Internet via your ISP, you can send emails from your desktop email client such as Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc. But Relenta isn't on your ISP network and is therefore denied connection to SMTP server to send your email.

HTML formatting of emails and newsletters

To switch between HTML and plain text formatting, click on the toggle link in compose window as shown below:

When in HTML mode, you can use HTML signatures and canned responses. Simply copy and paste the HTML source code into identity signature or canned response field (both are accessible in department settings).

Do you offer SMTP accounts?

Each Relenta account comes with a built-in SMTP (outgoing) email account that allows you to send up to 250 email messages per day. If you need to send more, you can add any number of your own SMTP servers to your Relenta account in Settings > Email accounts > Add new outgoing email account.
