Configuring email from Cornerstone

When emailing from Cornerstone, you can select the staff you want the email to be sent from in the top right corner of the Communication window. If that staff has staff-specific email settings set up, those will be used. If there are no staff-specific email settings, the default system settings will be used.

Note: Imaging emails (Image Explorer, Image Viewer, Case Window) always look at the logged in staff for staff-specific settings first.

Configure default practice email

Navigate to Controls > Defaults > Settings > Email.

1. Select the tab to set up:
   • System: These settings will be used when there are no staff-specific settings.
   • Staff’s Name: This is the currently logged-in staff member. These settings will be used when that staff member is selected to email from, or when that person sends imaging emails.
     Note: To set up email for each staff, they need to be logged into the workstation being used to complete settings.
2. On the tab, select the type of email you want to set up:
   • SMTP to use Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
   • Gmail to use Gmail’s OAuth Protocol.

Setting up SMTP email
