- Click on the "Manage" button next to the account name.
- In the Account settings window, click on the "Server settings" tab.
- Update the server settings as needed, such as:
- Incoming mail server (IMAP or POP3)
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
- Port numbers (e.g., 993 for IMAP, 587 for SMTP)
- Authentication settings (e.g., username, password, or two-factor authentication)
- Click "Save" to apply the changes.
Method 2: Change Mail Server Settings using the Control Panel

Additional Tips:
- Make sure you have the correct server settings for your email provider. You can find these settings on your email provider's website or by contacting their support team.
- If you're using a third-party email client, such as Microsoft Outlook, you may need to modify the settings within that application instead of the Mail app.
- If you're experiencing issues with your email account after changing the server settings, try restarting the Mail app or your device to see if the issue resolves itself.
