How to configure the SMTP settings for the OVH mail account?

Follow these general steps to configure the SMTP settings for your OVH mail account:

1. Log in to the OVH account:

   Use the credentials to access the OVH account.
2. Access the Mail Service:

   Locate and choose the Mail service connected with the email account we wish to setup in the OVH Control Panel.
3. Create or Choose an Email Account:

   Create a new email account or pick an existing email account for which you wish to configure the SMTP settings in the Mail service.
4. Obtain SMTP Server Details:

   The SMTP server information given by OVH may be found in the email account settings. Take note of the following particulars:

   a: SMTP Server Address: The location of the SMTP server in charge of sending outgoing emails.

   b: SMTP Port: The port number for the SMTP server (often 587 or 465).

   c: Check to see if SSL/TLS encryption is necessary for the SMTP connection.
5. Configure SMTP Client:

   Locate the SMTP setup settings in the client’s options or preferences, depending on the email client or program you’re using. These options are often located in the “Outgoing Server” or “SMTP Server” section.
6. Enter SMTP Server Information:

   In the email client’s SMTP configuration boxes, enter the SMTP server address and port received from the OVH account settings.
7. Configure Encryption/Security:

   Enable the relevant encryption option in the email client’s SMTP settings if SSL/TLS encryption is necessary. If many choices are available, choose the right SSL/TLS protocol version.
8. Authentication Credentials:

   Enter the OVH email account’s username and password. These are the same credentials that we use to get into the email account.
9. Test Configuration:

   Save the SMTP configuration settings in the email client before sending a test email to ensure that the setup is right. Check for any error warnings and confirm that the email was delivered properly.
