Hi All,

Below

"SMTP Mail Setup" and "SMTP Mail" are set for Mark for removal in business central.

I have one question when I upgrade the code regarding E-mail.

I have used the below object Codeunit "Email Message" and Email.

but I have did not find any way to change from name and From address while using the below function accordingly new object

"Email Message".Create(ToRecipients: List of [Text], Subject: Text, Body: Text, HtmlFormatted: Boolean, CCRecipients: List of [Text], BCCRecipients: List of [Text])

but in the Previous object function, we can change the from name and From address value.

like.

"SMTP Mail".CreateMessage(FromName: Text, FromAddress: Text, Recipients: List of [Text], Subject: Text, Body: Text, HtmlFormatted: Boolean)

I want to send mail according to the salesperson's email [FromAddress]. salesperson are many and we can not set many email accounts in business central.

Is that any way we can achieve it using "Email Message".Create(ToRecipients: List of [Text], Subject: Text, Body: Text, HtmlFormatted: Boolean, CCRecipients: List of [Text], BCCRecipients: List of [Text])

I have the same question (0)

In the latest versions BC is using E-mail scenarios. So you can define different senders addresses for different e-mail scenarios.

docs.microsoft.com/.../admin-how-setup-email

So when you send e-mail from code you can decide what e-mail scenario to use when you send so thereby defining the a-mail account that is used as sender

The email codeunit has a send methode that takes your message and your e-mail scenario as parameters like this:

Email.Send(Emailmessage, "email scenario"::"Sales Invoice");

Here i am using the Sales Invoice email scenario.

The email scenario is an enum that is extenable if you need more email scenarios than the standard system provieds.

Thanks for Reply. Yes we can add "email scenario". But In My Case I have customize email code on button. I have to send Email to Customer and the From email id must be on Salesperson email id. And there is lot of salesperson code and not feasible to setup email account and if new sales person add we need to setup email account. SO is there any event or we can set From email id using email message

Using the email codeunit you basically have 3 options of controlling the sender address:

(19.1.31886.32760), 'Send(Codeunit "Email Message", Enum "Email Scenario")' defined in Codeunit 'Email' by the extension System Application by Microsoft (

19.1.31886.32760), 'Send(Codeunit "Email Message", Record "Email Account")' defined in Codeunit 'Email' by the extension System Application by Microsoft

(19.1.31886.32760), 'Send(Codeunit "Email Message", Guid, Enum "Email Connector")' defined in Codeunit 'Email' by the extension System Application by Microsoft

So either email scenario, Email account or Email connector.

So best practice and my recommendation would be to go with one of these options.

You have some events in the Email table that might be useful but they might break some security rules on your mail service so you might end up with email not being sent anyway.

I am having the same issue. I tried both Email Accounts and Email Scenarios. We want to use SMTP for job queues. It is set as default. We have a custom code that sends notification outside of our company (when the button is clicked). We want to send it from the "Current User". It is not working. It is still sending from SMTP I created a new scenario and assigned it to the current user.

lEmailCu.Send(lEmailMessageCu, "Email Scenario"::"Dispatch Tech");
