| Mail Server | A Connection Store object that stores information for the SMTP Server. For new installations, the information from the "Default From Address for Sent Messages" and "SMTP Server for Sent Email Messages" fields in the installer is used to create the "Default_SMTP_Connection_Credential" Credential and "Default_SMTP_Connection" Connection Store object. If you upgraded from JAMS 7.7.3 or earlier, the field contains the “Default_SMTP_Connection” Connection Store object that holds the information from the SMTP Server, SMTP Retry Count, and SMTP Retry Delay fields that have been removed from this screen. After the upgrade, the default Credential named "Default_SMTP_Connection_Credential" that stores the From Address information is also added to the "Default_SMTP_Connection" Connection Store object as a Mail Credential. |
