[squeak-dev] I wish I was sending this from Inbox Talk, but I cannot figure out how to do that

Hi Timothy,

thank you for trying it out! :-)

> Is there a Help available for the package?

All documentation about SIT is stored in this repository: https://github.com/hpi-swa-lab/squeak-inbox-talk. In particular, see USAGE.md.

Regarding your mailing problem: Basically, you should just google the SMTP settings (server, port, username - the latter often equals your mailing address or the first part of it before the @) for your mail provider (such as Gmail, Outlook.com, ...) or ask your company administrator for these settings. I would not recommend hosting your own mail server unless you really know much about this stuff - which I do not do, too. :-)
Do I understand you correctly that you do not see any error debuggers right in Squeak when you try to send a message, but you only receive a delivery failure message from your mail server (Zoho)? Does this happen regardless of which address you are trying to send a message to? And are you able to use the SMTP interface for the same account from any other mail client (such as MS Outlook, Thunderbird, ...) successfully?

Best,
Christoph
