By default when you send an e-mail message using the 'Reply by Mail' function, XanaNews attempts to control your regular E-Mail application and use it to send the message.

To do this it uses a Microsoft technology known as MAPI. Many e-mail applications - both Microsoft and non-Microsoft ones - support MAPI and will therefore work with XanaNews.

However, some e-mail programs don't support MAPI, so can't be used by other programs to send mail on their behalf. For this reason XanaNews can be configured to use it's own e-mail sending engine instead of the one in your regular e-mail application.

To configure XanaNews to use it's own e-mail engine to send e-mail replies:

1. Create a new Mail Account

2. Configure a news account (or accounts) to use this mail account when replying to messages by e-mail
