Additional settings:

• Port numbers: You may need to specify the port numbers for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. For example, the default port number for POP3 is 110, and the default port number for IMAP is 143.
• SSL/TLS: You may need to enable SSL/TLS encryption to secure your email connection. This is usually done by checking the "Use SSL" or "Use TLS" box.
• Authentication: You may need to select the authentication method used by your email provider. For example, some providers use "Username and Password" authentication, while others use "OAuth" or "Basic Auth".
