The email parameters determine the route to your SMTP Mail Server and whether or not you wish to send your messages direct to the server or to the Cobwebb Queue.  This can be found from the Cobwebb Fax & Email Menu - Work with System Parameters - System Parameters - Option 2.

If you opt to send from the Cobwebb Queue then you will have a record of your messages and they will be sent to your SMTP Mail Server from there.
