Changing Email Settings for Preconfigured Email Providers

You can change the email settings for preconfigured email providers as needed. This may be important if your provider changes the settings for the SMTP server, for instance, and prompts you to implement such a change on your end.

Entering the Push Service Mails Sender

  1. Enter your e-mail address in the "E-Mail address" field.

    The e-mail address given here as the sender address is important. It does not have to be identical to the e-mail address to which you send the push service mails. Different recipient addresses can be specified for every push service.

  2. Enter the password for your e-mail account.
  3. If the e-mail provider is shown next to the "e-mail address" field in the "Account Information" section, then delete the domain within the e-mail address within the "e-mail Address" entry field.

    Examples

    T-Online

    The e-mail address entered is "w.smith@gmail.com".

    Delete "gmail.com" from the e-mail address.

    GMX

    The e-mail address entered is "w.smith@gmx.de".

    Delete "gmx.de" from the e-mail address.

  4. Click "Apply".

    Now the section "Please add the account information of your e-mail account" is displayed.

    Important:If the server is not accessible over port 25, you must also enter the port that is used by the server to communicate (for example 587) in the "SMTP server" field.

  5. Enable the option "This server supports a secure connection (SSL)" if it is not already enabled.
  6. Click "Apply" to save your settings.

This concludes entry of the sender data for receiving push service mails.

Testing Push Service

Click the "Test Push Service" button to send a test message and make sure that all settings are correct and that the mail arrives at the specified recipient's address.

Selecting a Different Sender Name

In the FRITZ!Box the preconfigured e-mail sender is the name registered under "Home Network / FRITZ!Box Name". Alternatively, you can assign a unique sender name, so that the push service mails sent by the FRITZ!Box can be clearly and quickly identified in your e-mail inbox.

  1. If you would like to use a different sender name, then enter a name of your own in the "Sender name" field.
