At present the emailing function for documents only supports email through a (MAPI?) client such as Outlook.
Many installations require SMTP support for various very good reasons. Most third party SDK applications add SMTP support as does most competitor software.

fully agree - I see recurring issues on this one
I agree to. Especially in TS environments, where the users don't have or need Outlook installed.
Agree
Third party solutions have been the only goto for many years. A lot can be done to improve Sage's native offering, and should be. SMTP support, logging, seperate emails per documents, CCs, BCCs etc. This area of Accpac has been left in the 90s and compares poorly to other ERP offerings.
A number of clients are moving to google apps and away from outlook
Absolutely agree, get into the 21st century.
Agree
Have been wanting this for 10 years at least...sooner the better!
Such costly applications really should have this type of basic functionality built into its core. For the length of time this has been missing, it almost seems intentional.
When adding ensure a BCC and CC field can be included by default so that all emails sent could also be copied to an internal mailbox for later reference. Or create an email log storing all the emails sent.
