A configured e-mail server environment is required for the use SMTP from within Fabasoft Folio. The e-mail server can be configured in an instance of FSCSMTP@1.1001:Configuration.

Following parameters can be defined:

• Expression for Computing the Sender Name
  A Fabasoft Kernel Expression to calculate the sender name which is displayed in an e-mail client.

STRING @sendername;
@sendername=coouser.userfirstname + " " + coouser.usersurname
return @sendername;
