  2. Configure your email client with the following settings:
    • Server type: IMAP or POP3 (depending on your preference).
    • Server name: Your hosting provider's email server (usually in the format of "mail.yourdomain.com").
    • Port: 993 (IMAP) or 995 (POP3).
    • Username: Your email address (e.g., [yourname]@yourdomain.com).
