ADDING EMAIL MARKETING ACCOUNT
This option enables to create an email account on the SALESmanago server. To create email marketing account, click + Add new marketing account.
Then, adjust the settings:

[2] Email – type in an email address you will use to send messages.
[3] Displayed name – sender name displayed before the subject line in the recipient inbox.
[4] Overwrite field FROM – an optional function – it allows you to extract any contact information from a detail saved at a contact card and set it as a sender name. This function allows you to send a message to many contacts, displaying different sender names for each recipient. Check the checkbox to see more options.
[5] Reply to [email] – an email address that the answers will be directed to. If the marketing email address that you are creating does not exist, you can enter an existing email address so that it will be possible to reply.

[4] Reply to email (empty by default) – an optional address to which replies will be sent. This is an important field as all automated bounces (and there could be many of them) that result in delivery failures will be delivered to this address, while the ‘Reply-to’ field will receive emails where the recipient has clicked ‘Reply’ to your message. If you leave this field blank, replies will be sent to the address from which you send your messages,

[11] Authenticate – if one of the coding systems is used by the inbox you need to check this option,
[12] Use SSL – if one of the coding systems is used by the inbox you need to check this option,
[13] Shared – you can decide whether the account is to be shared with several users within your organization. Shared accounts can be used by other users. If you do not check this option, the sending account will be available only for the user to whom it has been added,
[14] Proxy – when adding a mailing account you can activate the proxy mode. Learn more>>
SALESmanago can read incoming emails. This option allows you to automatically mark contacts, whose emails are returned due to the so-called hard and soft bounces – that is, situations when after accepting the message the contact’s server returns a delivery problem notification – e.g. due to the recipient account being closed or full. Information on incoming email can also be used with automation rules by means of Event: email received from contact for the purpose of e.g. assigning additional scoring to a contact or alerting your sales team about a given contact becoming interested in a product. Whenever an email address generates hard bounces, SALESmanago will automatically mark such contacts as faulty.
Incoming emails settings:
[1] Choose protocol – email access protocol (IMAP or POP3),
[2] POP3/IMAP host – incoming mail host,
[3] User POP3/IMAP – an account user (login) name,
[4] Password POP3/IMAP – an account password entered while login into the account,
[5] POP3/IMAP port – the port supporting the incoming mail,
[6] Using SSL for incoming emails – one of the coding systems; if used, tick the checkbox,
[7] Number of messages – maximum number of messages that can be read at once,
[8] Delete emails bounced from the server (message delivery failure) – decide whether SALESmanago should delete message delivery failure emails.
