Creating an Email Connection Profile

Create an Email connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for a mail server.

Note: If you change the connection properties of a connection profile that is already connected, the profile immediately disconnects from the resources and automatically attempts to reconnect using the updated information.
  1. In Enterprise Explorer, right-click the server type or enterprise resource for which you want to create a connection profile and select New.
  2. On the Wizard Selection page, select the appropriate connection profile type and click Next.
  3. Enter a name and description for the connection profile, and click Next.
    Table 1. Create Connection Profile page
    Field Description
    Name Enter a unique and descriptive name for the connection profile.
    Description (Optional) Enter a profile description that helps you distinguish it from others.
    Auto-Connect at Startup (Optional) Connect automatically to the server and display its contents in Enterprise Explorer when Sybase WorkSpace starts.
  4. Complete the following information on the wizard pages:
    Table 2. Email transport location properties
    Field Description
    Host The host name on which the server resides.
    Port The port number on which the server listens for incoming messages. 25 for example.
    Protocol Choose the protocol used to connect to the server. SMTP for example.
    User Name Enter the name for the mail server login.
    Password Enter the password for the login, if required.
  5. Click Test Connection to ping the server and to verify that the connection profile is working.
  6. Click Finish to create the connection profile.

    The connection profile displays under the appropriate category in the Enterprise Explorer.
