Configuring Tracker to support SMTP

By default, Tracker supports sending of Email through MAPI. If required, you can also send mail directly via SMTP if you know your SMTP settings. Using this option allows you to format the contents of the Email message using HTML, and include associated images in the message.

To install SMTP support, select Tools/Options from the main menu and select the E-Mail page:
