Here’s a list of all of them and what do they configure:

* **From Email** – the email address you want to send emails from – for example, <email@yourdomain.com>
* **From Name** – the name that your emails will be sent from
* **Mailer** – choose whether you want to use the *Default* PHP mail() functio&#x6E;*, a Gmail/G Suite account, Mailgun, SendGrid* or other SMTP servers. Choosing the *Default* mode would send the messages using the PHP mail() function without SMTP authentication. The *Gmail/G Suite, Mailgun* and *SendGrid* options require additional info such as Client ID and Client Secret or API key that should be obtained by the respective provider. The *other SMTP server* option would prompt you to enter additional configuration details which we would describe below.
* **Return Path** – check if you want to match the return path for your emails to the sending email;

If you choose **other SMTP servers** as a mailer, you would be prompted to add the SMTP server’s configuration settings.

* **SMTP Host** – the hostname for your SMTP server;
* **SMTP Port** – the port your server works on;
* **Encryption** – if you have SSL/TLS encryption available for that hostname, select it here;
* **Auto TLS** – if your server supports TLS encryption, enable this option;
* **Authentication** – check if your SMTP server requires authentication;
* **Username** – the username for your SMTP server;
* **Password** – the password for your SMTP server;

Once you configure those parameters, click **Save Settings** at the bottom of the page.
