• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): This protocol is used to send emails from your email account.
• Server settings: These settings vary depending on the email provider. For example, Gmail uses imap.gmail.com for IMAP and smtp.gmail.com for SMTP.
• Username and password: Enter your email address and password to access your email account.

Troubleshooting tips

• Make sure your email account is active and you have the correct login credentials.
• Check your email provider's settings to ensure they are correct.
• If you're having trouble connecting, try restarting your iPhone or checking for any software updates.
• If you're still having trouble, contact your email provider's support team for assistance.
