DotNetNuke normally sends out email on numerous occasions.
In your development environment you mostly don't have an email server set up so these emails are not really sent.
In some cases I do need to view / check these emails.

This might be to test the templates of an email module, to test localization of the emails DotNetNuke sends out on registration or as password reminders etc.

The easiest way I have found is to allow me to check the emails DotNetNuke sends is by adding a section to web.config.

Hoewel de doelgroep van VS LightSwitch niet primair bestaat uit hard-core .net developers, zal het ook voor deze groep zeker waardevol kunnen zijn om de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van LightSwitch te leren kennen.
