The Internet Mail Setup dialog allows you to configure or create the Mail/Messaging system profile that BarTender will use to send messages. Unless you specify otherwise, BarTender will use the default profile of the computer's currently logged-in user.

You can access this dialog from the Alert Setup dialog by clicking the Setup button when Internet Mail (SMTP) is selected as the Mail System.
