Email

Email is used less often these days, but MixUp supports it over your own SMTP account.

You need a mail account (with an app password)

Section titled “You need a mail account (with an app password)”

You need an email account to send from. Most mail providers now require an app password for third-party apps like MixUp — use that, not your normal login password. For Gmail, for example, you create a dedicated app password and copy it in.

How to get an app password for common providers:

Provider App-password guide
Gmail https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
Outlook / Microsoft Search “app password” in Microsoft account security

Enter the account’s SMTP details:

  • Server address and Port (SMTP).
  • User Name and Password (the app password).
  • Connection Security — usually SSL/TLS (already selected by default).
  • Authentication Method — usually a normal password.

Change these if your mail provider requires different options.

A useful option is a delay between sends. If a big queue builds up, set a delay (about 5–30 seconds) so your mailbox’s rate limits or spam filter don’t get you blocked.

On the template tab set:

  • Sender name and your email. Important: use the same email as the account you’re sending from — some providers reject mismatched senders.
  • Subject.
  • How to attach the content: as a file (attached to the email) or as a link (from the uploader).
  • Custom body text, or attach HTML markup.
  • Queue — emails not yet sent and their status.
  • Base — every email sent through this module.
