How to create mail id for wordpress

To create a mail ID for WordPress, you'll need to set up a mail server or use a third-party service that provides email hosting. Here are the general steps:

Option 1: Set up a mail server

  1. Install a mail server software: You can install a mail server software like Postfix, Sendmail, or Exim on your server. This will allow you to send and receive emails from your WordPress site.
  2. Configure the mail server: Configure the mail server software to use a domain name and a mail server IP address. You'll need to set up DNS records for your domain to point to the mail server.
  3. Create a mail account: Create a mail account on your mail server using a username and password. This will be used to send and receive emails from your WordPress site.

Option 2: Use a third-party email hosting service

  1. Sign up for an email hosting service: Sign up for an email hosting service like Gmail, Outlook, or Zoho. These services provide email hosting and allow you to create mail accounts.
  2. Create a mail account: Create a mail account on the email hosting service using a username and password. This will be used to send and receive emails from your WordPress site.
  3. Configure the mail account: Configure the mail account to use the email hosting service's SMTP server settings. You'll need to enter the SMTP server address, port number, username, and password in your WordPress site's settings.

Configure WordPress to use the mail ID

Once you have set up your mail server or email hosting service, you'll need to configure WordPress to use the mail ID. Here are the steps:
