What to write in incoming and outgoing mail server

The incoming and outgoing mail server settings are used to configure your email client to send and receive emails. Here's a general guide on what to write in each field:

Incoming Mail Server (IMAP/POP3)

• Server Name: This is the hostname or IP address of your email provider's incoming mail server. For example:
  • Gmail: imap.gmail.com (IMAP) or pop.gmail.com (POP3)
  • Outlook.com: imap-mail.outlook.com (IMAP) or pop-mail.outlook.com (POP3)
  • Yahoo: imap.yahoo.com (IMAP) or pop.yahoo.com (POP3)
• Port: This is the port number used to connect to the incoming mail server. For example:
  • IMAP: 993 (default) or 143 (default)
  • POP3: 995 (default) or 110 (default)
• Username: Your email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@provider.com)
• Password: Your email account password

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

• Server Name: This is the hostname or IP address of your email provider's outgoing mail server. For example:
  • Gmail: smtp.gmail.com (TLS) or smtp.gmail.com (SSL)
  • Outlook.com: smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS) or smtp-mail.outlook.com (SSL)
  • Yahoo: smtp.yahoo.com (TLS) or smtp.yahoo.com (SSL)
• Port: This is the port number used to connect to the outgoing mail server. For example:
  • TLS: 587 (default) or 25 (default)
  • SSL: 465 (default) or 25 (default)
• Username: Your email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@provider.com)
• Password: Your email account password

Additional Tips

• Make sure to use the correct protocol (IMAP or POP3) for your incoming mail server and the correct encryption method (TLS or SSL) for your outgoing mail server.
• If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to check the provider's documentation for specific settings.
• If you're having trouble connecting to your email account, try checking your email provider's settings or contacting their support team for assistance.

Here's an example of what the settings might look like for a Gmail account:

• Incoming Mail Server (IMAP):
  • Server Name: imap.gmail.com
  • Port: 993
  • Username: [your_email_address]@gmail.com
  • Password: [your_email_password]
• Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):
  • Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
  • Port: 587
  • Username: [your_email_address]@gmail.com
  • Password: [your_email_password]

Remember to replace [your_email_address] and [your_email_password] with your actual email address and password.
