The Email section lets you choose options for sending and addressing email alarms:
Email client: Specify the email client to be used to send email alarms:
KMail: When an email alarm is triggered, the email is sent using KMail as follows:
If KMail is running at the time and KMail is version 1.7 or later, the email is sent automatically.
If KMail is running at the time and KMail is an older version, the email is added to KMail's outbox folder for later transmission.
If KMail is not running, a KMail composer window is displayed filled in with the email details, to enable you to send the email manually.
Sendmail: When an email alarm is triggered, the email is sent automatically using sendmail. This option will only work if your system is configured to use sendmail, or a sendmail compatible mail transport agent such as postfix or qmail.
The From email address specifies your email address to be used as the sender's address in email alarms. Select Use address from Control Center to use the email address which is configured in the KDE Control Center.
The Bcc email address specifies your email address to be used for sending blind copies of email alarms to yourself when the Copy email to self option is selected. If blind copies are to be sent to your account on the computer which KAlarm runs on, you could simply enter your user login name here. Select Use address from Control Center to use the email address which is configured in the KDE Control Center.
Notify when remote emails are queued: Select this option to display a notification whenever an email alarm queues an email for sending to a remote system. This may be useful if, for example, you have a dial-up connection, or email is queued in KMail's outbox folder, so that you can ensure that you do whatever is needed to actually transmit the email.
