Hi,
This is a common problem for other software used at my company since we moved to an off-site corporate email server (more secure = less accessible). In any case, I cannot successfully use the send email action, and instead of any time-out it just hangs for as long as I have left it (an hour or so).
I am guessing that it has something to do with needing an SSL secure connection to connect to the email server, as this is the only option in my Outlook settings (Outlook works fine btw) that I cannot reproduce in the action options.
Please help!
Thanks.
Hi Rob,
Unfortunately the third party module that we use for SMTP does not support SSL. We are currently in the process of changing this for a future version, and we intend to add SSL support.
In the meantime, it shoudl be possible to automate Outlook using VBScript/JScript. There is some example script here:

Hth.
I have already tried this path, and it works pretty well, except that the Outlook security prevents the vba application from being able send automatically. I realize that there is at least one application that can be used to click OK when the security warning appears, but I would rather not use a program like this.
I hope SSL is supported soon!
Thanks.
