Configuring Email

If you have MAPI-compliant (Messaging Application Programming Interface) e-mail software installed on your computer, you can send email from Clinical. It is important to note Clinical interacts with your third-party e-mail software, and it is this software that does the sending and receiving via your e-mail server. Therefore, before you can send or receive e-mail using Clinical you must ensure that your e-mail client software is installed and functioning correctly. Specify your e-mail client type via the Advanced Tab of Letter Writer preferences.

The following table shows options for communicating with your e-mail client. It is recommended you consult your Systems Administrator for guidance with selecting the correct client for your practice.
