Sending a Test Email from Jira

1. Go to Administration > System > Mail and choose the Outgoing Mail tab in the left side of the page.
2. Click the 'Send a Test Email' link in the Operations column.
3. For debugging it might be helpful to check the 'SMTP Logging'.
4. Hit Send button.

• The e-mail protocol details can be found in the Mail log section at the bottom of page.

• The test e-mail will not use the JIRA notification e-mail templates, and hence, the e-mail format will be different (e.g. the sender name will not be displayed).

  Your test message has been sent successfully to dummy@gmail.com.
