Mail

This page deals with setting up the email system.

Bibledit sends out email. It also collects email every five minutes and acts upon these emails.

It needs an external email account for sending and receiving email.

The help information on this page assumes that we use a Google mail account. You will have your own email account dedicated to Bibledit.

The email address is bibletranslation@gmail.com, and the password is pazzwrd.

The Google mail account should let less secure apps use the account. Bibledit email setup requires this.

In case the setup fails to work, all diagnostics can be seen in the Journal.
