Smtp mail configuration

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for sending and receiving emails over the internet. Here's a general guide on how to configure SMTP mail settings:

SMTP Server Settings:

1. SMTP Server: This is the hostname or IP address of the SMTP server that will be used to send emails.
2. SMTP Port: This is the port number that the SMTP server listens on. The most common port numbers are 25, 587, and 2525.
3. SMTP Username: This is the username that will be used to authenticate with the SMTP server.
4. SMTP Password: This is the password that will be used to authenticate with the SMTP server.
5. SMTP Encryption: This is the encryption method used to secure the connection between the client and the SMTP server. Common encryption methods include SSL/TLS and STARTTLS.

Common SMTP Server Settings:

• Gmail: smtp.gmail.com, port 587, username is your Gmail address, password is your Gmail password, encryption is SSL/TLS
• Outlook: smtp.outlook.com, port 587, username is your Outlook email address, password is your Outlook password, encryption is SSL/TLS
