Hi, I am working with Alresco 4.0 and was trying to setup the e-mail. Please follow the most authentic page(https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27566) for it first and if you still face issue then you can try with the following required files and modifications. Modified files are:1.C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties
