Hello @ToanLC, the email, specified in the "from" field is used as the from-mail of sending mails. On Designer the from and to is overwritten in preferences -> Axon.ivy -> Email, so that the emails are not sent to the effective recipients, but to the addresses, specified in the preferences. For testing purpose. Since 6.6 if the default is set on Designer, an internal mail-server of the designer is used and the mails are listed in the view "Email messages".

Hello @ToanLC

The value of the property EMail.Server.MailAddress is used as sender email address for mail send by the engine, e.g. task notifications.
The value of the property EMail.Server.User is used as login-name to authenticate to the mail server, configured with the system property EMail.Server.Host and EMail.Server.Port. the configured mail server is used for all outgoing mails.
