Email

OPTIMUS currently supports email through OUTLOOK client running on the computer or server.
It uses the installed windows COM files to automate email sending natively from OUTLOOK.
This is the preferred method for most enterprise deployments of OPTIMUS, as it does not require any further configuration or access for email sending, apart from the standard OUTLOOK already installed on the user's computer.
