Platform settings

Setting	Description
Default profile	Specifies the default Windows Messaging Profile. A Windows Messaging Profile identifies a specific user and the mail server. To find the profiles available, open the Mail setup dialog box from the Control Panel and click Show Profiles. The email address that will be used is the address specified as the From address in the user’s profile. To be able to use alternative From addresses, you must set up a profile for each address. You do this in the runtime configuration of the connector.

Retry interval	The interval (seconds) between the retries.

Ignore missing attachments	Specifies whether to send an email if an attachment is missing.
