Outgoing mail server for your email account
How many times have you tried to setup your email account, but don’t have a clue to what the outgoing mail server is?
SMTP settings are simply your outgoing mail server settings; this particular protocol only works for outgoing messages. Most email software is designed to use SMTP for communication purposes when sending email.
POP3 and IMAP are two other protocols which are the incoming settings used for retrieving and storing email with mail software. These settings are required to properly set up any mail client so that it may convey data to your host’s mail server.
