Zoho - SMTP Integration
General SMTP Configuration Overview
This guide provides a step-by-step process to configure SMTP settings for sending emails using Gmail, Zoho Mail, and Microsoft Outlook.
To integrate SMTP into your application, you need:
- SMTP Server: The server address provided by the email service.
- From Email Name: The display name for the sender (e.g., "Your Company").
- Sender Email: The email address used to send emails.
- Username: Typically the sender email or a specific username.
- Password: The account password or an app-specific password.
- Port: The port number for the SMTP connection (e.g., 587 or 465).
- Security Type: The encryption protocol (e.g., TLS or SSL).
Zoho Mail SMTP Configuration
Zoho Mail is ideal for professional use with robust SMTP support.
