You can send a Fax Thru Email message to any fax number using your email account. It doesn't matter what email program you use, all you have to do is make sure the email address for the account matches the email address you listed when you set up your Fax Thru Email account. The "From" email address in your email client must be the same as the email address in your Fax Thru Email account.

To Send a Fax Through Your Email Client

  1. Log on to your email client using the account you use with Fax Thru Email.
  2. Compose a new email message.
  3. In the To field, type [email protected].
  4. In the Subject field, enter the recipient's fax number (for example: 480-123-4567).
  5. If your Fax Thru Email account requires a password, in the Subject field, after the recipient's fax number, enter a space and your password.
  6. Add the document(s) you want to send in the fax as a file attachment to the email message. Do not enter any information in the body of the email message. Fax Thru Email removes all information in the body of your email message.
  7. Send the email message.

NOTE: The "From" email address must match the "Account Email Address." Fax Thru Email checks that these two addresses match when validating the outgoing fax. If you enabled the Remote Faxing Password feature, the system checks to ensure the password in the subject line of the email message is accurate and valid.
