Sage 100

Anyone setup a gmail account for Paperless? Have tried it same as setup in Outlook, not taking it. Do you have to have a user? What about the Domain?

I did one set up back in December and had a lot of problems getting it working. What seemed to work finally was using smtp.gmail.com as the address with port 465. SMTP Encryption was SSL. We did use a user ID and password and selected the option to use 128-bit Encryption. We had a lot of problem with .dll files and Sage sent several replacements. Ron Asp ended up getting involved. Ron installed revised chilkatcert.dll, chilkatmail2.dll and chilkatutil.dll files in the Program filesx86\common files\sage\common components folder. Those also had to be manually registered.

Am I wrong, or was the whole point of the Paperless update in 2013 so you could use gmail?????????

I have the following settings and working for me. Address: smtp.gmail.com Port: 25 SMTP Encryption: TLS/STARTTLS User ID: <email>@gmail.com Password: Acct Password This was a helpful article for me: http://lifehacker.com/111166/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server

You're not wrong. The funny thing is emailing through paperless was working with gmail settings before I installed Sage 2013 and it didn't work after the upgrade. Sage personnel kept insisting there was no way it was working before, but it was. Explain that to a user.

@MaryJoKrueger, you could say what we sometimes say, ""its a new feature from Sage"" :)

Thanks, everyone, I'll see how it goes.

I believe the back story on this is that a Sage programmer took it upon him(her)self to push the changes through so that we could use a Gmail account. @AlnoorCassim may have a more complete story.

Gmail will work, but what you cannot do is change the from address on specific forms (since gmail doesn't allow e-mail spoofing).

Bringing this back up after an experience I had yesterday. Upgraded a client to 2014.3. They want to activate Paperless emailing, and are a Google Apps business user. So their email addresses are not xxx@gmail.com. I configured Company Maintenance per the Sage KB (email address = smtp.gmail.com, port 587, TLS/STARTTLS encryption). Email failed (I didn't capture the exact message, but it was not happy with the username/password. Client's IT confirmed the user/pw combination (we even had 2 different sets of fingers configure the pw). Turns out that to get it working, changing the following settings resulted in successful emailing: address = smtp-relay.gmail.com; user id and password removed. Apparently, this tells the Gmail server to accept messages from the IP address of the server. In case anyone runs into this . . .

Thanks @BarbaraGoldstein very helpful info.

There also may be a requirement to turn on SMTP within the apps account.
