One of the powerful tool in business industry is Emailing. Sage CRM also provide emailing feature. Users can send or receive emails from CRM or they can even do Mass Mailing.
One of the drawback of emailing in earlier version of Sage CRM is that CRM does not support TLS/SSL enabled connection. Means if you want to use Email functionality in Sage CRM, SMTP details for email configuration must be non-TLS/SSL enabled. Still you want to use TLS/SSL enabled connection then it is mandatory use third party application i.e. Stunnel. You can refer below link, how to use stunnel for secure email connection.
