Connecting to an SMTP server to send email notifications

To allow 
BlackBerry UEM
 to send email notifications, you must connect 
BlackBerry UEM
 to an SMTP server.
BlackBerry UEM
 uses email notifications to send activation instructions to users. You can also configure 
BlackBerry UEM
 to send passwords for 
BlackBerry UEM Self-Service
 and device compliance warnings, and you can send email messages to individuals.
 If you don't connect 
BlackBerry UEM
 to an SMTP server, 
BlackBerry UEM
 cannot send passwords, activation messages, or email messages. You can still configure 
BlackBerry UEM
 to send compliance warnings directly to devices.
For more information about activation messages, device compliance warnings, and sending individual email messages, see the Administration content.
