VeMail Test Client

The VeMail Test Client is a very useful email client application designed and included for use in testing SMTP and POP3 settings for VeMail configuration.

You can launch the application by selecting Start | All Programs | DuVoice | Utilities | VeMail Test Client. This will open the VeMail Test Client for SMTP, as shown below.

When you have finished configuring the message, click Send to actually send the message. A dialog will open, showing the raw SMTP data. Receiving this data can help you troubleshoot if the send attempt fails. When you have finished viewing this data, click Close to close the dialog and return to the main window. The settings you previously entered will still be there. So, if the send failed and you think the failure is due to an incorrect setting, you can modify the settings and try again.

After you have successfully sent a message via SMTP, you are ready to test the POP3 side. Notice the button in lower right corner, Test POP3. Click this button to open the VeMail POP3 Test Client dialog, as shown below.
