1. Before being able to send emails from OFBiz you need to set some SystemProperties in the DB. It's also possible to do it using properties in general.properties file but using SystemProperties is the easiest way
  2. Simply get to webtools/control/EntityImport and use the "Complete XML document (root tag: entity-engine-xml)" text area (don't forget to surround your lines with

    <entity-engine-xml>
    ....


    </entity-engine-xml>

    Here are some examples lines:
