Description

A useful description of the Mail Server

Email Server

The specific address of the SMTP server.

The port on the server on which the mail service runs. Leave this as 0 to use the default port:

  • Default port for standard SMTP is: 25
  • Default port for TLS is: 465

Username

The username of the email account to connect to.

Password

The password of the email account to connect to.

SSL

Controls whether TLS/SSL is used when sending email from an SMTP server. Before using this setting first check to determine if your SMTP server can accept TLS/SSL connections. When SSL is enabled ensure to set the Port value to the SSL/SSL SMTP port number, which is typically 465.

TLS

When enabled an unencrypted connection (typically on port 25) is automatically converted to a secure TLS connection (typically port 995).

If this is selected then SSL should not be selected.
