HOW TO SETUP & SEND EMAILS FROM LOADMANAGER

This tutorial shows how to setup your email and send rate confirmations and other documents directly from the Load Manager system. If you are a gmail user you also need to Turn On the GMail setting for Less Secure Apps which you can find using this link: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps. If you get a message that says this settings is managed by your email Administrator then see “How to unlock Less Secure Apps from Gmail Admin Panel”.

If that doesn’t work you might have to Unlock GMail’s CAPTCHA using this link https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.

You should also check your inbox for a security alert. If you see it than you should click Yes it’s me providing the time of the alert coincides with when you tried to “Verify SMTP Settings”. Below is a sample of what the alert will look like once you click on the link in the alert email.
