Want to connect your email using a Custom SMTP?

This guide covers everything you need to know, from entering SMTP and IMAP settings to selecting a security option, so you can seamlessly send emails directly from Skylead. With these steps, you’ll be up and running with your custom email address in no time. Happy emailing! 🚀✨

1. Navigate to the Settings Page ⚙️

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

2. When you 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 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. 🌟
