Originally when you emailed a client from InspectionPLUS (example: publishing and sending them an inspection report) the ‘from:’ address was [support@inspectionplus.net](mailto:support@inspectionplus.net)   Now with the update, you can enable it so that any emails sent from InspectionPLUS will come from your email address. This will make it easier for you and your clients to better communicate any questions or issues.   Enabling this is **not required but recommended**. If you do not change anything, report emails will continue to be sent from [support@inspectionplus.net](mailto:support@inspectionplus.net)   Below are step-by-step instructions. If you need help, please email [support@nrcia.org](mailto:support@nrcia.org) and request a video call.   ---   # **Part 1: Prepare your email information**   You will need to know the following information -Your email address ([example@example.com](mailto:example@example.com)) -Your email password -Your outgoing mail server (aka SMTP Server) -Your outgoing server port (aka SMTP Port)     ### How to find your outgoing SMTP Server   SMTP Server for **Gmail**: smtp.gmail.com SMTP Server for **Outlook**: smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP Server for **AOL**: smtp.aol.com SMTP Server for **Yahoo**: smtp.mail.yahoo.com SMTP Server for **ICloud**: smtp.mail.me.com SMTP Server for **Comcast**: smtp.comcast.net     ### How to find your outgoing SMTP Port   SMTP Server for **Gmail**: 587 SMTP Server for **Outlook**: 587 SMTP Server for **AOL**: 587 SMTP Server for **Yahoo**: 587 or 465 SMTP Server for **ICloud**: 587 SMTP Server for **Comcast**: 587   # **Part 2: Update your inspector email**   Upon logging into InspectionPLUS, click “My Profile” and then click the submenu labeled “Member Update.   ![Picture of main menu with Profile and Member update highlighted](https://nrcia.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Picture1.png)     Next, you will need to enter the information you collected in Part 1.
