Sending an e-mail from NAV through SMTP

NAV 2013 supports Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), which makes mail sending easy and independent. Through SMTP, NAV will send mail directly to the exchange server. In the older version, when we used to send it through Outlook, it consisted of a more complex code. This recipe will show you how to configure and use that SMTP code.

Getting ready

1. Open the RoleTailored client; in the RTC Search box type SMTP, and choose the related link.

2. Provide the SMTP server address and the server port.

3. Choose authentication type set by your IT department and, if required, provide credentials.

How to do it...

1. Start the development by creating a new codeunit from Object Designer.

2. Add the following global variables:

   Name	Type	SubType
   SMTPMailSetup	Record	SMTP Mail Setup
   SMTP	Codeunit	SMTP Mail

3. Write the following code in the OnRun trigger of the codeunit:

   IF SMTPMailSetup.GET THEN BEGIN
     SMTP.CreateMessage('Rakesh Raul','[e-mail]',   ...
