6. Right-click async in the project pane and select Run.
This will compile, assemble, and deploy the application, and start a web browser
at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/async .
7. In the web browser window, enter the email to which you want the test mes-
sage sent and click Send email.
If your configuration settings are correct, a test email will be sent, and the status
message will read Sent in the web client. The test message should appear mo-
mentarily in the inbox of the recipient.
If an error occurs, the status will read Encountered an error . Check the
server.log file for your domain to find the cause of the error.
