# Send via SMTP

If you want to send emails from BestInvoicing using your own email address but the used domain name is not managed by you (e.g. <xyz@me.com>, <xyz@icloud.com>, ...) you have to enter some data provided by your mailprovider (me.com, icloud.com, ...) into BestInvoicing.&#x20;

## Edit Email Settings

* Navigate to the top right corner of the screen (email address) and click to unfold the menu
* Select 'Company Settings'
* Select 'Email Settings', then click the yellow button 'Edit'

## Select the Right Delivery Method&#x20;

BestInvoicing provides a number of different delivery methods. If you want to send via STMP, select option 3: 'Send via own server address (SMTP) (Configuration required)'.&#x20;

Your emails may now be sent as follows:

| Field                | What the email recipient sees                                |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Sender name          | Your company name, as registered in your Company Information |
| Sender email address | Your email address (e.g. <anna@me.com>)                      |
| Reply address        | Your email address (e.g. <anna@me.com>)                      |

This may look as such:&#x20;
