API Credentials for Mail

To send emails you need your SMTP server connection details: "SMTP Host", "SMTP Username", "SMTP Password" and "SMTP Port". Below you’ll find step‑by‑step instructions to locate each of these items without advanced technical knowledge.

SMTP Host

1. 1

   Identify which email service you use (Outlook, your hosting provider, etc.).

2. 2

   Go to the service’s help page and look for "SMTP settings". This usually appears in a mail‑configuration article.

3. 3

   Write down the value listed as "SMTP Server" or "Outgoing mail server". For example: smtp.office365.com or mail.your‑domain.com.

SMTP Username

1. 1

   It is usually your full email address (e.g., user@your‑domain.com). Check the same table or article where you found the SMTP Host.

2. 2

   If your provider uses a different username, it will clearly say "Username" or "User". Copy that value exactly.

SMTP Password

1. 1

   For many services it’s the same password you use to sign in to your email.

2. 2

   Some providers (for example Gmail with two‑step verification) require a specific "App Password". Go to your account’s Security section, choose "App passwords", generate a new one, copy the code, and save it.

SMTP Port

1. 1

   Review your provider’s "SMTP settings" table. You’ll see one or more common ports: 587 (TLS/STARTTLS), 465 (SSL) or 25 (unencrypted, rarely used).

2. 2

   Choose the port the article marks as "secure" or "recommended". If both 587 and 465 are listed, pick 587 unless told otherwise.

Enable SMTP Authentication (Yes/No)

1. 1

   Check the same guide for a note like "Requires authentication" or "SMTP authentication: Yes". Most modern services require it.

2. 2

   If your provider requires it (almost always), select "Yes" in your application. Choose "No" only if the documentation explicitly states it’s not needed (very rare).
