6. Update the "Incoming Mail Server" (IMAP or POP) and "Outgoing Mail Server" (SMTP) settings to the new mail server's address.
7. Enter the new mail server's username and password (if required).
8. Save the changes.

Common Mail Server Settings:

• Incoming Mail Server (IMAP or POP):
  • Server address: imap.example.com or pop.example.com
  • Port: 993 (IMAP) or 110 (POP)
• Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):
  • Server address: smtp.example.com
  • Port: 587 (recommended) or 25
• Username and Password: The username and password you use to log in to your email account.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure to update the mail server settings for all devices and email clients that use the same email account.
• If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to update the settings in the client's settings menu.
• If you're experiencing issues with your email account after changing the mail server, try restarting your email client or server.
• If you're unsure about the new mail server settings, contact your email provider or IT administrator for assistance.

Remember to update the mail server settings carefully to avoid any disruptions to your email service.
