===== Mailing Settings =====

The mailing settings let you control how Feng Office sends notification emails. These settings are global as well. (Don't mix up these mailing settings with the settings for [[:emails|individual email accounts]].)

Options in the mailing settings:
  * Microsoft Exchange compatibility mode: If you're using a Microsoft Exchange Server, this should help to prevent some problems.
  * Mail transport: Lets you choose the method by which emails are sent, by the mailing functions of PHP (requires no further configuration) or by an SMTP server (to be specified below).

===== Module Settings =====

In this subsection, you can enable or disable each Feng Office module.

PLEASE NOTE: Disabling a module only hides it from the graphical interface. It doesn't remove permissions from users to create or edit content objects.

PLEASE NOTE: Disabling a module will hide any corresponding [[:dashboard]] widget automatically.
