How to connect your email using Custom SMTP

Hey there, Skyleader! ☁️

Welcome aboard! 😊

In this guide, we’ll walk you through connecting your email if you’re using a Custom email provider. Don’t worry, it’s easier than it sounds. Let’s get started! 🚀

1. Head Over to the Settings Page ⚙️

• First, navigate to the Settings page in your Skylead account. Click on the Email settings tab and the Add button, and then select the Custom SMTP Server option.
  
  
  
  

  2. Next, click on this option and you’ll see a modal pop-up like this: 👇
  
  

  

Now, let’s fill in the details:

• Sender email: This is the email address you want to send from.
• Sender name: The name that will appear in the recipient's inbox (yep, that’s your name! 😉).

3. Enter Your SMTP Settings 📧

You’ll need to fill in the following information:

• Username: Your email address.
• Password: Your email password.
• IP address/Outgoing Server Name: This is your email provider’s server name.
• Port Number: Provided by your email provider.

Not sure where to find these details? No worries! A quick Google search with your email provider’s name followed by “SMTP settings” should do the trick. 🔍

If you’re unsure who your email provider is, just head over to a site like MXToolbox or DNS Checker and enter your email domain. Choose MX from the dropdown, and you’ll see something like this:

The underlined text is the name of your email provider. Use that name to search for the SMTP settings. Easy-peasy! 😎

4. Fill in Your IMAP Settings ✉️

Now, let’s move on to the IMAP settings:

• Username: Your email address.
• Password: Your email password.
• IP address/Incoming Server Name: Your email provider’s server name.
• Port Number: Provided by your email provider.

Just like with SMTP, you can find these details online by searching “[Your email provider] IMAP settings.”

5. Choose Your Security Option 🔒

Finally, you’ll need to select between these two options:

• TLS/SSL: Most email providers use this option.
• No Encryption: Only use this if your email provider requires it.

And that’s it! You’re all set to start sending emails through Skylead. 🌟
