Tips and Variations

• If you're using a custom domain email address, you may need to configure additional settings, such as DNS records or SPF records, to ensure email delivery.
• If you're using a web-based email service, such as Gmail or Yahoo, you may need to enable IMAP or POP access in your email account settings.
• If you're experiencing issues with your email account setup, you can try resetting your password or contacting your email provider's support team for assistance.
