When a different time rate is entered at the debtor or at a case, the rate of an activity will be determined by this code.

If no rate is found the system will look for the default time rate ALL.

If this option is set and no activity rate is found at the adjusted time rate the activity rate will be determined by the user time rate before looking at the time rate ALL.

 

Ignore rate 0 during time writing

By enabling this option, the message will not be shown.

Tabpage E-mail

Mill7 offers the option to sent invoices and reminders through e-mail.

This could be done per individual invoice or reminder, using the local e-mail client like Outlook express or Outlook.

 

A batch of Invoices could also be sent at the background by use of a SMTP server (in the network) or the local e-mail client.

 

Local client: Use Outlook driver

Check this box to use a special driver instead of the standard Simple Mapi.

This only applies to sending e-mails using your local client and only works with MS Outlook.

With this driver more options are available when sending invoices by email.

 

SMTP settings

These settings apply to all service companies.

For client bookkeepings they should be set per bookkeeping.

 

To be able to use SMTP, the server must recognize Mill7 as a user.

 

Use SMTP server

Check this box to use SMTP to send invoices and reminders via e-mail.

This option is applicable only for sending invoices and reminders. Other functions that allow sending e-mails will never use SMTP (like E-mail Excel).

 

Exceptions are

the report scheduler. This function always uses the SMTP server. The SMTP information must be filled in in the main bookkeeping.

relation mailings. In this function it is possible to choose for sending e-mails via the SMTP server.

For both functions there is no need to tick the option 'Use SMTP server'. However, the data from the SMTP server must be filled in correctly.

 

SMTP Server

Enter the address of the SMTP server.

 

SMTP User

Enter in the user name of a user with access rights to the SMTP server.
 

SMTP Password

Enter the password of the user listed above.

 

SMTP e-mail address sender

This e-mail address will be used as a default senders address.

With some SMTP servers, like smtp.office365.com for instance, the sender address needs to be the same address as the SMTP user.

 

SMTP e-mail address errors

If an error occurs while sending invoices or reminders, an error message will be directed to this address.

 

SMTP e-mail CC Address

When invoices of reminders are sent through the SMTP server a CC e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered here.

 

SMTP Port

The default port is 25 unless a different port is entered.

 

SMTP SSL

Check this box if your SMTP server only accepts e-mails that use encryption protocol SSL (Secure Socket Layer).

When using smtp.office365.com as SMTP server this option needs to be disabled.

 

SMTP TLS

Check this box if your SMTP server only accepts e-mails that use encryption protocol TLS (Transport Layer Security).
When using smtp.office365.com as SMTP server this option needs to be enabled.

 

Retry once after send error
Check this box if you want an e-mail to be resend a second time when the first attempt did not succeed.

 

Authorization method

The SMTP driver used by Mill7 will by default choose the most secure login method available to prevent unencrypted user name and passwords from being transmitted, if possible. However, some SMTP servers may not advertise the acceptable authorization methods, and therefore it is not possible to automatically determine the best authorization method. With this setting, the driver can be force to try a particular authorization method initially. In most cases the default setting of AUTO will do the job.

 

Test SMTP

A test e-mail will be sent using the SMTP server to the address mentioned at SMTP e-mail address errors.

 

Show detailed log report after test

Check the box to receive an full report of the test. The log will display the applied parameters and, in case of a failure, where in the process the test failed.

 

When E-mails cannot be sent please check the above settings, but also have a look at restrictions made through rights and policies of Windows, firewalls or virus scanners.

 

Outlook settings

These settings apply to all bookkeepings.

 

When SMTP is not selected E-mails will be sent using your local client (default mail account).

 

For each e-mail sent, Outlook will give a security warning which have to be confirmed by the user.

By checking the option 'Disable security warning outlook (restart required)' e-mails will be send directly in the background without user intervention.

 

In order to use this option the drivers for Outlook must be loaded. If the driver is loaded it will be indicated on the screen. When the driver is not loaded press 'Register drivers'. After this Mill7 will need to be restarted.

 

The Download New Drivers button is used in case necessary driver updates become available. A zip file named updated_drivers.zip will then be retrieved. The contents of this file must then be installed in the Mill7\Prog20 folder. This can be prevented when the files are occupied by logged-in users or background processes (such as the Report scheduler and Mill7 Mobile). In this case, it may be necessary for all users to leave Mill7 and any background processes to be stopped temporarily.
