Using Print2Email with Thunderbird, or Lotus Notes

To configure the Print2Email to use Thunderbird or Lotus Notes MAPI clients for sending emails every time when Print2Email converting a document, go to Print2Email > Email Providers tab. Under Email Providers tab > Select the Outlook or MAPI compatible client and uncheck Ask for the provider every time when sending an email checkbox.

If Display email sent successfully message is enabled, Print2Email will show a confirmation message after an email is sent.

If Display email sending error messages is enabled, any SMTP-related errors are shown when an email fails to send.

If Use legacy MAPI for email sending (Display Outlook Security Alert Window) is enabled, Outlook’s Security Alert Window will appear. This Outlook prompt prevents third-party applications from sending emails automatically without notifying the user.

Email Format

  • HTML – Format message as HTML. HTML message can contain formatting and are compatible with most e-mail readers.
  • Plain Text – Format message as plain text. Plain text can be read by everyone but contains no formatting.

Signature for Outlook or MAPI

To use a signature in the outgoing emails, select the appropriate signature from the dropdown list. For more information, please refer to the following section.

When finished configuring the Print2Email, press Apply to save the changes. From now on, every printed document by Print2Email will be opened in Thunderbird or Lotus Notes (based on which is the default email client on the system) to let users send the printed documents in email quickly and easily.

NOTE: The “Send all emails automatically to the same email address” and “Prompt the User only for email address” features, on the Email Sending tab, are not supported when using Thunderbird clients.
