Outgoing mail server username

The outgoing mail server username, also known as the SMTP username, is the username used to authenticate with the mail server when sending emails. The format of the outgoing mail server username typically depends on the email provider or mail server being used.

Here are some common formats:

  1. [email protected]: This is the most common format, where the username is the same as the email address, followed by the domain name. Example: [email protected]
  2. Username: Some email providers, like Gmail, use the username alone as the authentication username. Example: john
  3. Full email address: Some mail servers require the full email address as the authentication username. Example: [email protected]
  4. Username:password: Some mail servers require the username and password to be separated by a colon. Example: john:password

To find the correct outgoing mail server username for your email provider or mail server, you can:

  1. Check your email provider's documentation or support website.
  2. Look for the "SMTP" or "Outgoing Mail Server" settings in your email client or account settings.
  3. Contact your email provider's support team for assistance.

Remember to keep your outgoing mail server username and password secure to prevent unauthorized access to your email account.
