• SMTP Port: Fill in the Port which your email provider is using. Normally this will be either Port 25, 465 or 587.
• SSL: Here you can activate if your account is using SSL encryption.
• SMTP Login Type: For almost all email servers this has to be set to Authentication so that you can identify yourself with your username and password.
• SMTP Username: Please fill in the username of your email account.
• SMTP Password: Please fill in the password of your email account.

Please enter your email accounts SMTP data and your personal login and save all settings by clicking Submit.
