System / Push Service / Sender

To send push service mails the FRITZ!Box needs an email address as the sender. You can also assign a unique sender name, so that the push service mails sent by the FRITZ!Box can be clearly and quickly identified in your email inbox.

Testing Push Service

  1. Enable the "Test email sending after adopting the settings" checkbox to check whether the account information was entered correctly.

A test email is sent to the email address you entered.

Entering the Push Service Mails Sender

  1. Enter your email address in the "email address" field.

    The email address given here as the sender address is important. It does not have to be identical to the email 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 email account.
    • The FRITZ!Box stores a variety of email providers with information like their SMTP servers. If you have an email account with one of these providers, you do not have to provide additional information about the email user name and server.
    • Click the "Apply" button to save your entries.
  3. Note the following if you use a Google email account for the push service:
  4. If your email provider is not saved in the FRITZ!Box, click on the "Account Information - more settings" link.
  5. Enter the user name for the email account specified above in the "email user name" field. Generally your email user name is the same as your email address.
  6. In the "SMTP server" field, enter the name of your provider's email server (SMTP server).

    Some SMTP servers do not work on the default port (25). If this is the case for your SMTP server, the port number must be entered in the "Port" field. You receive the name and port number from your email provider.

  7. If the SMTP server you specified supports SSL, enable the option "This server supports a secure connection (SSL)".
  8. Click the "Apply" button to save your entries.

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

Selecting a Different Sender Name

In the FRITZ!Box the preconfigured email sender is the name registered under "Home Network / FRITZ!Box Name". You can also assign another sender name for your push mails, so that the push service mails sent by the FRITZ!Box can be quickly and clearly identified in your email inbox.

Note:If you want to ensure that a push service mail was sent by the email address specified here, then add a different unique name as well.

  1. Enter a name of your own in the "Sender Name" field.
  2. Click "Apply" to save your entries.

Now the push service mails will be labeled with this sender address.
