    You can easily know the host name. If you're looking for the host name for Gmail, it is stmp.gmail.com. For Office 365, it is stmp.office365.com and so on. Most often it will be something along the lines of smtp.yourprovider.com.

    To put it simply, an outgoing mail server takes care of the transport method of your emails, transferring them from your patron or webmail to some other laptop – the inbound server – the place the recipient can pick out it up.

    Open your iPhone’s Settings. It’s a gray gear icon that will be on the Home Screen. Scroll down and tap Mail. It’s in the fifth set of options. Tap Accounts. Tap the account you want to change. Tap your email address.

    To send mail from your iPhone, ensure your outgoing SMTP server is correctly configured with your domain's SMTP host (e.g., smtp.yourdomain.com), port (commonly 465 or 587), and your login credentials. For incoming mail, you'll typically use your domain's IMAP/POP3 host and ports (e.g., 993 or 995). Sometimes, using a dedicated SMTP service can simplify setup and improve email deliverability.
