In the Test e-mail address field, enter an e-mail address that you can access.

Click Send test e-mail.

Then check the appropriate inbox. If an e-mail with the subject Portal Mail configuration test. Do not reply and Testmail from Lucanet Tax Administration in the body has been received, the test was successful.
