If you have not created your account, navigate to the top of the page and enter your domain name in the Email field.

Select the suggested email address from the drop-down menu.

Enter a strong password of your email account in the Password field.

Select the Configure Email Client option from the drop-down menu.

On the next screen, navigate to the Manual Settings section.

Note down the outgoing server settings for the Secure SSL settings and Non-SSL settings.

Next, open the SMTP Settings window and enter the outgoing mail server name in the Server Address field.
