Yes we can get rid of that annoying Outlook mail popup that is driving you batty!

What you need to do is the following in you local etrack.exe.config file (c:\program files\eTrack\eTrack.exe.config). Open this file with Notepad and add the following lines (after <Maintenance UseTransaction=”1″></Maintenance> line):

<MailDispatch Type=”SMTP”>
<Host>Mail_Host_Goes_Here</Host>
</MailDispatch>

Change the MAIL_HOST_GOES_HERE bit to the full name of you SMTP mail server.

Restart eTrack and the alerts will be sent silently via the SMTP host and not via Outlook. You will of course no longer have a trail of Alerts sent out in your Outlook sent items list since this is being bypassed now.

Test alerts work okay and get sent to you without any hassle then apply the same change to the etrack.exe.config file on

<eTrack Server Location>\Install and Update\

To force the rollout of the new config file also change the

<eTrackVersion>1001</eTrackVersion> number (increment it by 1 to force rollout).
