Email Setting

Introduction #

Email settings are crucial for ensuring smooth communication through your Portify and Business Portify accounts. Proper configuration allows you to send and receive emails effectively, allowing your business to stay connected with clients and stakeholders.

Understanding Email Settings #

The email settings section allows you to manage your email account configurations including SMTP settings, sender information, and general preferences.

SMTP Settings #

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) settings are essential for sending emails from your domain. You need to configure:

• SMTP Server: This is the outbound mail server address provided by your email service.
• Port: Common ports are 25, 587 for TLS, and 465 for SSL connections.
• Username: Your email account username, typically your full email address.
• Password: The password associated with your email account.
• Encryption: Choose between TLS or SSL for secure connections.

Configuring Sender Information #

This section allows you to set up the ‘From’ address that recipients see when they receive emails from your domain. You can specify:

• Sender Name: The name that appears in the ‘From’ field.
• Reply-To Address: Optionally specify a different address for replies.
