Enable Email Notification for Quick Notification

In unattended operations, you may wish to be advised about the results of backup plans. This function can be used to send a report of the execution result to an email address you provide.

To configure Email Notification:

• Click “Menu” in the title bar-->select “Settings”-->select “Notifications”--> Turn on“Enable email or SMS notification” to set up your email configuration information.
• Or, you can directly click the "Tools" bar and select "Notification Settings" to enable email notification.

There are four SMTP servers for sending the notification email: Hotmail Server, Gmail Server, Qiling Server or Custom Server.

1. When you select Hotmail or Gmail, firstly you need to type in an email address which the program will send the execution result to, and then you need to input your Hotmail or Gmail account for the SMTP authentication. So, it will use Hotmail or Gmail server to send the email notification.

2. When you select Qiling Server, you only need to type in an email address which the program will send the execution result to. You don’t need to set the SMTP authentication. So, it will use Qiling email server to send the email notification.

3. When you use Custom Server, you can specify your own email SMTP server to send the email notification.

• SMTP Server: Specify the email SMTP server depending on your mail service.
• Port: Enter the port number of your email server, e.g. 465.
• Encryption: Support plain text, SSL and TLS.
• Of course, you also need to input your account for the SMTP authentication.

Notification settings:

You can specify the conditions for sending email notification:

• When the operation is completed successfully.
• When the operation fails.
• When user interaction is required.

There are two forms for the notification email:

• Send email with HTML: the notification message will be encoded as html.
• Send email with TXT: the notification message will be encoded as txt.

Tips:

• If you use the free edition, you can only choose Hotmail or Gmail. For other editions, you can use four SMTP servers: Hotmail, Gmail, Qiling server, or Custom server.
• All of the notification conditions for sending email notification are selected in notifications settings by default. So you will get a report on whether the operation is completed successfully or not.
• For verifying if your settings are correct or not, Qiling Disk Master will send a test message to your mailbox when you click “Send for test”.
