# ◾ How can I set up SMTP connection?

:::warning
Elevate Healthcare recommends setting up SMTP server information upon initial login to enable the sending of emails from LearningSpace. For your institution's particular server address or details about server requirements, contact your network administrator.

:::

**SMTP connection** is to be set up on the **Emails** tab of the **System** module.


:::tip
Scroll to the bottom of the tab to see the **SMTP server settings**.
