Volusion email server settings

Volusion is an e-commerce platform that provides a built-in email system for sending and receiving emails related to your online store. However, if you prefer to use your own email server or a third-party email service, you can configure Volusion to use your custom email server settings. Here are the steps to configure Volusion email server settings:

Step 1: Go to Store Settings

Log in to your Volusion store and go to Store Settings > Email Settings.

Step 2: Enable Custom Email Server

Click on the Custom Email Server toggle button to enable it.

Step 3: Enter Your Email Server Settings

Enter the following information:

• SMTP Server: Enter the hostname or IP address of your email server.
• SMTP Port: Enter the port number used by your email server (usually 25, 587, or 2525).
• SMTP Username: Enter the username used to authenticate with your email server.
• SMTP Password: Enter the password used to authenticate with your email server.
• SMTP Encryption: Select the encryption method used by your email server (None, SSL, or TLS).
• From Email Address: Enter the email address that will be used as the sender's email address.
• From Name: Enter the name that will be displayed as the sender's name.

Step 4: Test Your Email Server Settings

Click the Test Email Server button to test your email server settings. Volusion will send a test email to the email address you specified in the From Email Address field.

Step 5: Save Your Changes

Once you've tested and confirmed that your email server settings are correct, click the Save button to save your changes.

Note: If you're using a third-party email service, you may need to consult their documentation for specific settings and configurations.

Here are some common email server settings for popular email services:

• Gmail: smtp.gmail.com, port 587, username is your Gmail address, password is your Gmail password, encryption is TLS.
• Outlook: smtp.outlook.com, port 587, username is your Outlook address, password is your Outlook password, encryption is TLS.
• Yahoo: smtp.yahoo.com, port 587, username is your Yahoo address, password is your Yahoo password, encryption is TLS.

Remember to replace the placeholders with your actual email server settings and test your email server settings before saving your changes.
