How to configure SMTP to send emails in Icegram Express?

You can use your host as the mail server, and enter the SMTP server settings provided by the hosting company. Most hosting providers have documentation on how to connect to the server/service offered by them via SMTP. You can refer to their support docs or contact their support staff for credentials.

Settings required to connect to SMTP server​

  • SMTP Host: This is the SMTP host address provided by your hosting company.
  • Encryption: The encryption method used by your mail server to send emails. Usually, it is TLS.
  • SMTP Port: This is the port used by the outgoing mail server.
  • Authentication: Needs to be Yes.
  • SMTP Username: This is usually the email address you are using to send emails.
  • SMTP Password This is the password for the email account you are using to send emails.
