Mail connexion
You're looking for information on how to establish a mail connection!
A mail connection, also known as a mail relay or mail server connection, is a process that allows your email client or application to send and receive emails through a mail server. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you establish a mail connection:
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) Connection:
- SMTP Server: Find the SMTP server address provided by your email provider or internet service provider (ISP). This is usually in the format of
smtp.example.com
ormail.example.com
. - Port Number: The default SMTP port number is 25, but some providers may use a different port number (e.g., 587 or 2525).
- Username and Password: Enter your email address and password to authenticate with the SMTP server.
- Encryption: Some providers may require encryption (TLS or SSL) to secure the connection. Check your provider's settings for this.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) Connection:
- POP3 or IMAP Server: Find the POP3 or IMAP server address provided by your email provider or ISP. This is usually in the format of
pop3.example.com
orimap.example.com
. - Port Number: The default POP3 port number is 110, while the default IMAP port number is 143.
- Username and Password: Enter your email address and password to authenticate with the POP3 or IMAP server.
- Encryption: Some providers may require encryption (TLS or SSL) to secure the connection. Check your provider's settings for this.
