SENDING INVOICES VIA EMAIL:

 

To setup HyperLedger 7 to automatically send invoices or cash bills via e-mail, you need to do the following:

1. Set up an e-mail agent for use that supports the MAPI protocol.
2. Enter e-mail addresses in customers' details.

 

If you have not set up any e-mail client, you may get an error message "There is no e-mail program associated to perform the requested action" and Error sending mail (2) when you try to send an e-mail within the Print Preview form.

 

A free MAPI-supported e-mail client that you may use is Mozilla Thunderbird. Please download the program and run Setup.

 

During the setup of Thunderbird, you will be asked for your e-mail address. Always try to choose IMAP as your preferred configuration because with IMAP, e-mails that are received will not be automatically deleted from the server. Whereas if using configuration POP3, any e-mail received will be downloaded into your computer and then deleted from the server.

 

To send an invoice via e-mail with HyperLedger 7, click Print Preview when issuing or editing an Invoice. There should be an E-mail... button in the Print Preview. If there is no E-mail.. button appearing, that means the account involved doesn't have an e-mail address entered in its Details. Click the E-mail button and HyperLedger 7 will tell Windows to send an e-mail. Initially it may be a bit slow because Windows takes some time to start up the Thunderbird main program. A Thunderbird send e-mail form will also appear together with the Thunderbird main program, with the e-mail address and attached invoice prepared. If you wish, you may add in messages to the prepared e-mail. Click Send to send the e-mail. If you wish to send another invoice via e-mail, do not close the Thunderbird main program so that the send form will appear quicker the next time.
