Sage Contact - how do I set up emails from 2 companies and link them to my work email addresses

SUGGESTED

I run two companies and have different email addresses for each company. I use Outlook app on the pc to access all of my emails (I monitor approx. 10). How do I set up and link each company to the right email address, so that it shows in Sage. Also, I have groups within 1 company and regularly send blind copy emails to everyone in the group, how will this work?

Thank you

    Hi Jacqui,

    Thanks for using the Sage Business Community. 

    There's one Report Designer installed on each PC - the settings depend on Outlook being your default email provider in Windows and in Sage Report Designer.

    Because you can enter one set of email settings, the Report designer can only connect to the default mail account as defined in Outlook. 

    The workaround would be to have different email settings on different PCs.

    Hi Fiona

    Thank you for your answer. I need to have both companies on my computer. They are set up as two separate companies, does that not mean I should have two Report Designers on my computer?

    Hi Jacqui,

    Report Designer is installed alongside the main Sage 50 Accounts program.  As you don't have a different installation of the program for each com[any, likewise you don't have two Report Designers installed.

    As Outlook can only have one default email address and Sage sends all emails to this, i'm afraid you can't choose the Outlook email account you wish to have a specific companies emails sent to.

    As a workaround, you would need to drag and drop the emails in Outlook to the correct mailbox, or alternatively set up a rule on Outlook to forward on specific email addresses to the correct email address.
