You can now set your client facing emails sent from the system to display your own email address in the ‘From:’ field instead of noreply@newton.ca
We had many requests for this and we just wanted to let you know that we heard you, and we’re here to deliver.
Which Email Server Do You Use?
Microsoft 365 (Hotmail/Outlook)
There is now a new interface for you to connect your 365 Email Plugin.
From the dropdown select Microsoft 365.
We have renamed the original connection Microsoft 365 Legacy to distinguish between the two.
To connect your new 365 email plugin, you will enter your email address, by following the steps on screen, and clicking connect.
You will get a pop-up letting you know that Customer Care team will create your domain by working with your office 365 administrator to finish the setup.
Rackspace (DLC)
DLC Agents should use Rackspace to connect to their DLC email.
MCC / MA
MCC and MA Agents should choose Custom from the drop down menu, and then enter the following
- SMTP: mail.mortgagecentre.com / mail.mortgagearchitects.ca
- Security: SSL
- Port: 465

MA users: Please make sure to use @mortgagearchitects.ca (not @mtgarc.ca) for your email address

**GMAIL SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
You have two options in your Gmail Settings to make it compatible with the Velocity email plug in. Choose the one that suits you best!
OPTION 1
2 Factor Authentication turned OFF (This is when it prompts you to enter your phone number and receive a code via text message when you go to login which adds an extra layer of security)
Two settings must be as follows in order for this to work
- TURN ON “Allow less secure apps”
- TURN OFF “2 Factor Authentication” (it’s turned off by default, so unless you turned it on, don’t worry about it)
OR
OPTION 2
2 Factor Authentication turned ON (This is when it prompts you to enter your phone number and receive a code via text message when you go to login which adds an extra layer of security)
