How to Set Up SMTP
Locate your SMTP settings
The SMTP settings are located in the settings section under the Team Settings.
Find Your SMTP Server Info
Look up the SMTP server name and port number for your email provider. Here's a quick list for popular providers:
Gmail: smtp.gmail.com (Port: 465 or 587)
Outlook/Hotmail: smtp.office365.com (Port: 587)
Yahoo: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Port: 465 or 587)
Add Your Email Account Credentials
