How to configure Prestashop to send e-mails
By default, Prestashop is configured to use the PHP mail() function for sending e-mails. However SMTP is better at handling messages and can also be used to send e-mails from a third party mail provider if necessary.
To configure your Prestashop to use SMTP, access the application’s back office, then click on Advanced Parameters -> E-Mail. Select the Set my own SMTP parameters (for advanced users ONLY) option and enter the following settings in the new section that appears:
- Encryption – SSL;
- Port – 465.
Click Save to apply the new settings.
You can confirm the functionality of the e-mail service by sending a message to yourself from Test your email configuration section.
