Overview

Use Fergus to send emails from an account to get information direct from Fergus to your clients.

When to use it

Setting up your email SMTP settings should be one of the first things set up in your account to ensure communication is uninterrupted from the outset.

How to use it

To get started, go to "Settings", then select "Email" and click "Use custom email settings".

You can get these settings from the person who set up your work email.

To find these settings, head to the link for your email provider below or search Google for SMTP settings using SMTP and your email provider as key words.

Finally, hit Save SMTP Settings and we'll send you a brief email to test everything is correct.
