# Configure mail server for email notifications

Administrators can set up and configure email notifications in their mail server. CPQ supports the following protocols:

- SMTP—Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
- STARTTLS—A protocol command to inform the email server that the email client wants to upgrade to a secure connection using TLS or SSL.

## Configure mail server settings

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Administration**.
2. From the top navigation bar, select **Operation Settings**.
3. Select **Email Settings**.
4. Define property values:
  - **SMTP Host**—The SMTP server to connect to. Example: smtp.office365.com.
  - **SMTP Server Username**—Default SMTP username. For example, notifications@inmindcloud.com.
  - **SMTP Port Number**—SMTP server port to connect to, such as 25, 57, or 465.
  - **SMTP Authentication**—Defaults to **False**. If set to **True**, the server attempts to authenticate the user using the AUTH command.
  - **To enable STARTTLS on the Server**—Defaults to **False**. A value of **True** enables the use of the STARTTLS command (if supported by the server) to switch to a TLS-protected connection before issuing login commands.
  - **SMTP Server Password**—Server password.
5. Select **Save**.
