What do you put in incoming mail server

The "Incoming Mail Server" field is typically used to specify the server that your email client (e.g. Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.) uses to retrieve new emails from your email account.

The format of the Incoming Mail Server field usually consists of two parts:

1. Server name or hostname: This is the name of the mail server that handles incoming emails for your email account. For example, if your email account is with Gmail, the server name would be imap.gmail.com or pop.gmail.com.
2. Port number: This is the port number that your email client uses to connect to the mail server. Common port numbers for incoming mail servers include:
   • IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): 143 or 993 (SSL/TLS)
   • POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3): 110 or 995 (SSL/TLS)

Here are some examples of Incoming Mail Server fields for popular email providers:

• Gmail: imap.gmail.com (IMAP) or pop.gmail.com (POP3)
• Outlook.com: imap-mail.outlook.com (IMAP) or pop-mail.outlook.com (POP3)
• Yahoo Mail: imap.yahoo.com (IMAP) or pop.yahoo.com (POP3)
• AOL Mail: imap.aol.com (IMAP) or pop.aol.com (POP3)

When setting up your email client, you'll typically need to enter the following information in the Incoming Mail Server field:

• Server name or hostname: imap.gmail.com (or your email provider's equivalent)
• Port number: 143 (or 993 for SSL/TLS)

Note that some email providers may require you to use a specific port number or authentication method (e.g. SSL/TLS, STARTTLS) to connect to their mail server. Be sure to check your email provider's documentation for specific instructions.
