BEmail, short for "bxp Email", are account details for interacting with email accounts. A BEMail account is has the log in details to interact with an email accountin the way Microsoft Outlook does, or how you would interact with your GMail account.. When a BEMail account is set up, various parts of bxp can then be allowed into that mailbox to do work with the emails there within. = How the accounts are used = bxp has the ability to get emails from an email account. This is called "Inbound to bxp", as bxp will log into this email box to retrieve emails. bxp also has the ability to send emails out through a particular email server. This is called "Outbound from bxp" bxp also has it's own email servers which can pretend to be any email account. Where possible when sending emails out bxp will use it's own engine.
To create an account ''Main Menu > System Access Management > System Management > BEMail Account - Add > ''

This is a testing facility to ensure that bxp can successfully connect to the inbound aspect of the account. This tab only appears on the edit function when there are some details to test.
