Configuring the SMTP Connection Properties in Once Track
Under the Settings on the Once Track Orders screen is an option for SMTP Connection Settings. This includes a checkbox to enable or disable this feature.
An internet search for "SMTP settings" will return numerous articles about SMTP settings for different email service providers, or you can contact your email provider or Once Support for guidance.
Note that if using gmail you will probably need to setup an App Password. Search for "gmail SMTP app password" or see this article: https://www.gmass.co/blog/gmail-smtp/.
