Xsane-setup-e-mail-window



From:

Enter your email address.

Reply to:

Enter the email address to which the receiver shall answer. If this is the same as the from address enter the same address again.

SMTP server:

This is the address of the smtp server.

SMPT port:

Here you have to enter the port number on which the smtp server expects smtp connections. The standard port number is 25.

E-mail authentication:

Since some years all SMTP servers expect authentication before accepting any mail. There are different ways of authentication. Select the one your ISP supports.

User:

Enter your username for the email authentication.

Password:

Enter the password for the email authentication. Pay attention, this can be a security hole. The user and password is stored in the xsane.rc file in ~/.sane/xsane/xsane.rc. The password is not stored in plain text but it is simple to reconstruct the password from the entry in xsane.rc. If you enter your pop3 password here make sure no one gets access to your xsane.rc file.

POP3 server:

This is the address of the pop3 server when you selected POP3 before SMTP.

POP3 port:

Here you have to enter the port number on which the pop3 server expects pop3 connections. The standard port number is 110.
