SMTP (MIME) (Legacy) output connector

The SMTP (MIME) (Legacy) connector is used to attach output from a Process to an SMTP email.

Note:

This connector is only used in upgraded Design Center Projects where the old version of the Project included SMTP (MIME) connectors. If you create new Design Center Projects you should use the new SMTP (MIME) connector.
