123 reg incoming mail server port
A common question!
The incoming mail server port for a Gmail account is typically 993, not 123. Here's a breakdown:
- Incoming mail server (IMAP): This is the port used to retrieve emails from your Gmail account. The default port for IMAP is 993 (SSL/TLS encryption) or 143 (plain text).
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP): This is the port used to send emails from your Gmail account. The default port for SMTP is 587 (TLS encryption) or 25 (plain text).
So, to set up your email client to connect to your Gmail account, you would typically use:
- Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com (port 993)
- Outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com (port 587)
Note that you may need to enable IMAP and/or SMTP access in your Gmail account settings to allow your email client to connect. Additionally, you may need to use an app password or 2-Step Verification to authenticate your connection.
