For Other Email Providers:

If you're using a different email provider, such as AOL, Comcast, or Verizon, the process may vary. You can usually find the settings by logging in to your account, clicking on the gear icon or settings icon, and searching for "SMTP" or "Outgoing Mail Server."

Additional Tips:

• Make sure your email provider allows you to use their SMTP server for sending emails. Some providers may have restrictions or require you to enable this feature in your account settings.
• If you're having trouble sending emails, check your email provider's documentation or contact their support team for assistance.
• Keep in mind that some email providers may have specific requirements for sending emails, such as using a specific port number or authentication method.
