Common Troubleshooting Tips

If you face any issues while configuring:

➔ Check Username & Password: Ensure you’ve entered the correct email credentials.

➔ Verify Mail Server Names: Use mail.yourdomain.com for both incoming and outgoing servers (or check with your hosting provider).

➔ Ports & Security:

POP3 (Incoming): 995 with SSL
SMTP (Outgoing): 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)

➔ Firewall or ISP Restrictions: Some ISPs block specific ports. If emails aren’t coming through, try switching from SSL to TLS or changing the port number.

Then your settings would look like this:

Type	Server	Port	Security
Incoming (POP3)	mail.hostitsmart.com	995	SSL
Outgoing (SMTP)	mail.hostitsmart.com	465	SSL
