Custom/Other Email Providers
- Check your email provider's documentation or support page
- Look for "SMTP settings", "Outgoing mail server", or "Mail client configuration"
- Common ports: 587 (TLS), 465 (SSL), 25 (unencrypted - not recommended)
- Contact your email provider's support if you can't find the settings
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Many providers require app-specific passwords when 2FA is enabled
- Some hosting providers block outbound SMTP connections - contact support if connection fails
- If port 587 doesn't work, try port 465 with SSL encryption
- Always test your connection before saving
