  • SMTP port & encryption protocol and command/method to activate this protocol: 587 + STARTTLS
  • Username = full & complete email address ( ? )
  • Password = the one generated for the email address you want to view
  • Authentication required for sending emails:
    • It is activated in the SMTP settings of your application.
