4Click Manage profiles. A dialog box will pop up.
-
5Click Email accounts. This will open the "Account Settings" window.
-
6Click the Email tab. It's along the top of the window with Data Files and Address Books.
-
7Double-click the email address you want to find the SMTP for. When you double-click it, another window will open.[2]
- You can see your SMTP server listed under "Server Information." If that isn't enough information, you can click More Settings > Advanced.[3]
- Usually, the SMTP host name is something like "smtp.yourprovider.com." Check with your provider, like Gmail, to see what you're supposed to put here. Providers like Microsoft 365, Outlook, Hotmail, and Live.com use "smtp.office.365.com" and MSN uses "smtp-mail.outlook.com."[4]
