I am having trouble setting up the email pop server. I use yahoo and i have entered in smtp.mail.yahoo.com, 465 and my email address but still get error sending email. Is there a trick to using yahoo? I have the premier service so I think I should be able to get this working.
Also, suggestion to add to the long list of future improvements. It would be nice if we could attach the treatment plan to the email by hitting a single button. If we want to send the treatment plan to patient we have to save to file then attach to email.
Also, I notice that you are planning on adding bulk email for those people that need to schedule a recall appt. Can you also add to the list for sending bulk email for reminders to those patients that scheduled their appt 6 months ago? We are unable to send reminder cards to our patients here as the mail service is reliably unreliable. It would be nice to send reminder emails to the recall appt. patients.
ps. I am very excited about the release of 5.3 and 5.4 as both of those versions have many improvements that will help us out a lot here. keep up the great work.
A lot of the bigger ISPs (Yahoo, Verizon, etc) will often block sending on port 25 as an antispam countermeasure.
You need to change the port you send on to (usually) 587. Is 465 the port Yahoo is using?
You'll also need to configure your email software so that it sends your username and password for that account.
Let me know if you need further help getting this going,
