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 (which is started first if necessary) as follows:
If KMail is version 1.7 or later, the email is sent automatically.
If KMail is an older version, the email is added to
KMail's outbox
folder for later
transmission.
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.
Copy sent emails into KMail's sent-items folder:
Select this option if, every time an email alarm is triggered, you
want a copy of the transmitted email to be stored in KMail's
sent-items
folder.
This option is not available when KMail is selected as the email client, since KMail automatically does this.
Select your email address to be used as the sender's address in email alarms:
Select From to enter an email address.
Select Use address from Control Center to use the email address which is configured in the KDE Control Center.
Select Use KMail identities to be able to choose at the time you configure an email alarm which of KMail's email identities to use. KMail's default identity will be used for alarms which were already configured before you selected this option.
Select your email address to be used for sending blind copies of email alarms to yourself when the Copy email to self option is selected:
Select Bcc to enter an email address. 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.
