Apple Mail

These instructions explain how to integrate an SMTP server to an existing Apple Mail Account.

To add SMTP settings:

Go to Mail > Preferences. On the account, you want to edit, click Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), and select Edit SMTP Server List…

  • Click the + under the list of SMTP servers, and add a new one.
  • Enter the following details in the following screen:
    1-Server Name: smtp.netcorecloud.net
    2-Description: Netcore Email API
    3-Ports: Use default ports
    4-Encryption: Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
    5-Authentication: Password
    6-User Name: Netcore Email API account username
    7-Password: Netcore Email API account password.
  • When you write an email, you can choose the outgoing server you want to use, from the dropdown below the Subject field. Once you do this selection, it is remembered and can be changed if required. This way, you can send individual messages to your regular SMTP, and the messages you need to send through Netcore Email API can go through us.

Note:

  • Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to add SMTP API headers to a message in Mail.
  • Sometimes, the way mail attaches images is not compatible with other email readers. To learn how to correct it, click here.

Thunderbird

For sending mails through Thunderbird, you need to change the outgoing server settings in Thunderbird. You can also include an SMTP API header in your emails if you want to leverage categories or other features of the SMTP API when sending mail via the Thunderbird client.

v. Authentication method – Normal password
vi. User Name – your Pepipost.com username

  • To incorporate SMTP API headers, select Tools | Options (Win) or Thunderbird | Preferences (Mac) from the menu in Thunderbird. – Open the “Advanced” category and go to the “General” tab. – Click “Config Editor“.
  • Do the following:
    1-Enter “mail.compose.other.header” under “Filter:”
    2-Double-click mail.compose.other.header.
    3-Enter “X-SMTPAPI”
    4-Click OK.
    6-5-Close the configuration editor and preferences dialog.

Restart Thunderbird for the changes to take effect.

Now, while you create a mail message, click the drop-down option that will now allow you to add a header of the type “X-SMTPAPI” in addition to “To”
