e-mails

Configuring my e-mail to e-mail reports to clients.

Currently I get a message saying, ensure your e-mail clients properly configured for simple MAPI.
How do I configure my e-mail for this?

Hi reddragon,

This feature requires that you have an email client that supports MAPI. It is a Messaging API, that allows FM to request your email client send some email. Programs like Outlook support this. It has to be a local email program, it can't be sent through a web email for example.

Thanks, I have outllook but how do I set it up? Is there a tutorial?

[Mark]

Hi reddragon,

We don't have a tutorial on this. Please try going into Windows and making sure Outlook is set to have all its default associations. If you still have troubles, please let me know what version of Outlook you have, and I might be able to find better instructions. You can also search Google for how to make Outlook <your version> the default email program in Windows.

I had the Geek Squad do what you said in last post. Still can not e-mail from FM. I downloaded to a cvs file and tried to e-mail that way but it is not visably viewable? Any suggestions I,m using outlook 2018.

Hello reddragon,

Is Outlook designated as your default email program? Please see this web article:

Are you using a 32 or 64 bit version of Outlook?

Hi John,

I really apologies that I could not fix your issue as I checked all the possible way, tried to change the outlook settings, to MAPI, then enable and disable MAPI, then try to configure outlook through EAS but it was showing missing server.10.20.25.120 . Then I checked with IMAP the mails are coming and receiving on outlook. Then try to default email settings as Mail then restart the computer and then try to set as outlook then again restart but no use, still getting the same error, So told you to contact to Fund Manager, that server end they need to change.

Regards,

Hi reddragon,

Despite the similar names, IMAP and MAPI are 2 different things. Fund Manager uses MAPI (Messaging API) to talk with your default email client. There is no "server" involved. It is just Fund Manager communicating with Outlook via MAPI, and it asks Outlook to send an email with whatever your default email account is currently set to.

Did you ever check whether you are using the 32 or 64 bit version of Outlook? It must be the 32 bit version in order to work with Fund Manager.

Hi fund manager, the outlook on my computer is 64 bit. Is there another e-mail platform that I can use with this program?

Hi Jon,

Fund Manager is a 32 bit application, so it can only communicate using the 32 bit version of MAPI. So, to use the email features, you would need a 32 bit email client that supports MAPI, like Outlook, but the 32 bit version. The 32 bit version of Outlook runs fine on 64 bit versions of Windows, so one option would be to switch to the 32 bit version of Outlook.
