This option determines whether email statements sent via Tabs3 Billing are sent using Microsoft Outlook, SMTP, or Microsoft 365.

Outlook

Select Outlook if you want to send email statements to the active Outlook profile's Outbox.

Note: If you are using New Outlook for Windows, we recommend selecting Microsoft 365 or SMTP. New Outlook does not support sending email statements in a batch. See KB Article R11942, “New Outlook and Tabs3 Software,” for more information.

SMTP

Select SMTP if you want to send email statements to contacts using an SMTP server.

Note: If you select SMTP, you must be configured to use an SMTP server in System Configuration (Settings | Outgoing Email Configuration) before you can successfully send email statements.

Microsoft 365

Select Microsoft 365 if you want to send email statements to contacts using an Exchange Online / Microsoft 365 server. After selecting this option, you will be prompted to enter the credentials for the Microsoft 365 account you want to use to send email statements.

Note: To use Microsoft 365, you must have an email account on an Exchange Online / Microsoft 365 server.

Note: When Microsoft 365 is selected, you must either specify a Microsoft 365 account by clicking Sign In or select one of the other Email Statements Method options (Outlook or SMTP) before, saving, closing the Customization window, or clicking another tab.
