Host name for incoming mail server

The hostname for an incoming mail server, also known as a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), is typically in the format of mail.example.com or mx.example.com, where example.com is the domain name of the organization or individual.

Here are some common examples of hostnames for incoming mail servers:

• mail.example.com
• mx1.example.com (primary MX record)
• mx2.example.com (secondary MX record)
• smtp.example.com (SMTP server)
• imap.example.com (IMAP server)
• pop.example.com (POP3 server)

When setting up an email account or configuring an email client, you may need to enter the hostname of the incoming mail server in the following formats:

• mail.example.com (for POP3 or IMAP)
• smtp.example.com (for SMTP)
• mx1.example.com (for MX record)

Note that the hostname may vary depending on the specific email service provider, hosting provider, or organization. It's always a good idea to check with your email provider or administrator to determine the correct hostname for your incoming mail server.
