Figure 5-11. E-Mail screen
When adding recipient to this e-mail message, it is important not only to include who should see this message, but also who should see who is getting this message. As with other e-mail packages, ManageMore's e-mail capabilities allows you to send message to people in three manners:
To | This is who you are sending the message to, the people who are going to be most highly affected by the message. |
CC | If you want to copy someone on an e-mail, enter in their e-mail address in the CC (carbon copy) field. The CC e-mail addresses will be visible to anyone who reads the e-mail. |
BCC | If you want to keep CC addresses private, enter e-mail addresses in the BCC (blind carbon copy) field. E-mail recipients will not be able to see who you copied this message to. |
Clicking on any of the three buttons labeled above will bring up the Add Recipients screen.
If you want to keep all of your recipient's names and e-mail addresses private from each other, you can use only the BCC field if you wish. The e-mail will be sent "To: Undisclosed Recipients." |

Q01. | Is there a limit to the size of attachment that the program allows? |
A01. | No. However, most Internet Service Providers place a limit on the size of e-mails sent and received for external e-mail. |
Q02. | I am viewing e-mail from the Customer Care screen. Why can't I view the attachments? |
A02. | Attachments are stored for the original intended recipient only. That recipient may save the attachment in a shared folder, or forward the message to other employees. This feature eliminates duplicates of the same file. |
Q03. | Is there a limit to the number of attachments per e-mail that you can include? |
A03. | The only limit on attachments is the one your ISP places on the size of your outgoing e-mail attachments. Otherwise the program will not limit the attachments you include in an e-mail message. |
Q04. | Can I e-mail transactions to multiple recipients from the same e-mail? |
A04. | Yes. When you click the e-mail button on a transaction form, the original recipient will show in the To field on the e-mail message that is generated. You can then add additional recipients here. |
Q05. | Can I e-mail multiple transactions to a customer on the same e-mail? |
A05. | No. The e-mail function on a transaction in meant to e-mail one transaction at a time. |
Q06. | When I try to send an e-mail message to someone, I get the error: "No valid recipients specified." What does this mean? |
A06. | This error is coming back directly from your e-mail provider's outgoing mail server. It means that the email address provided to the server was found not be valid by the outgoing server. Your best option is to double check the recipient's e-mail address to make sure it is valid. If you are sure the e-mail address is right, contact your e-mail provider. |
Q07. | I don't see my question here. Where else can I get information? |
A07. | Visit our website's Technical Support section. |
