The steps given in this recipe are self-explanatory and do not require further explanation. But the outgoing mail and incoming mail records have several fields, so let's see their purpose.

Here is the list of fields used to configure the incoming mail server:

• Name: The name of the server, which helps you identify a specific incoming mail server when you have configured multiple incoming mail servers.
• Server Type: Here you need to choose from three options: POP, IMAP, and Local. The value of this field will be based on your mail service provider.
• Server Name: The domain of the server on which the service is running.
• Port: The port number on which the server is running.
• SSL/TLS: Check this field if you are using SSL/TLS encryption.
• Username: The email address for which you are fetching emails.
• Password: The password for the email address provided.

The following is the list of fields used for configuring the outgoing mail server:

• Description: The description of the server, which helps you identify a specific incoming mail server when you have configured multiple incoming mail servers.
• Priority: This field is used to define the priority of the outgoing mail server. The lower number gets a higher priority so mail servers with a lower priority will be used most.
• SMTP server: The domain of the server on which the service is running.
• SMTP port: The port number on which the server is running.
• Connection security: The type of security used to send the mail.
• Username: The email account used for sending the emails.
• Password: The password for the email account provided.
