Here, enter the mail server host name, the port of the mail server, whether or not to use authentication (if used, enter User Name and Password), server type, “From” address, “From” name, whether or not to use Start TLS or SSL. You can also test the email configuration here. When done, click Save to save the configuration.

The following parameters need to be configured:
• mail.smtp.host – Mailserver host name
• mail.smtp.port – Mailserver port

• mail.userid – User id used to connect to the mail server if authentication is needed.
• mail.password – The password used to connect to the mail server
