SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is how your PrivateEmail account sends emails through an email client.
How it works:
PrivateEmail’s SMTP settings typically look like this:
- SMTP Server: mail.privateemail.com
- Port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
- Username: your full email
- Password: your mailbox password
Incorrect SMTP settings means your emails won’t send, so be sure that they’re correct!
Tips:
- Choose SSL or TLS for secure delivery
- Use the same credentials for SMTP as for IMAP
- Check for firewall or antivirus blocking ports
