Email Settings

Email settings are crucial for ensuring reliable delivery of emails generated by your website. This includes order confirmations, user notifications, and any automated messages sent by your system.

Configuring SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the industry standard for sending emails. Unlike PHP mail functions, SMTP ensures that your emails are less likely to be marked as spam.

Site Global Email

  • Description: All system-generated emails will be sent from this address.

  • Field: Enter the email address you want to appear in the "From" field of your outgoing emails.

SMTP Host

  • Description: The server that will send out your emails.

  • Field: Provided by your email hosting provider (e.g., smtp.gmail.com for Gmail).

SMTP Username

  • Description: The username for your SMTP server, usually the full email address.

  • Field: Enter the email address associated with your SMTP server.

SMTP Password

  • Description: The password for your SMTP server.

  • Field: Input the password that you use to log into your SMTP server.

SMTP Driver

  • Description: The software that sends the email using the SMTP protocol.

  • Field: Typically 'smtp', provided by your email host.

SMTP Port

  • Description: The port number used to send emails.

  • Field: Common ports include 587 (with TLS encryption) or 465 (with SSL).

SMTP Encryption

  • Description: Encryption for secure email sending.

  • Field: Usually 'TLS' or 'SSL', provided by your email host.

Testing Configuration

After configuring your settings, always send a test email to confirm everything is working correctly.

Send Test Mail

  • Description: To ensure that your SMTP settings are correctly configured.

  • Field: Enter an email address where you can receive the test email.

  • Button: Click 'Send Test Mail' to proceed.

Tips

  • Always check with your email service provider for the exact SMTP settings.

  • If emails are not sending, verify your credentials and check with your hosting provider for any server-specific requirements.

  • Consider using dedicated transactional email services like SendGrid, Mailgun, or Amazon SES for better deliverability.

Remember to 'Save Changes' to apply your settings.
