Step 1: Obtain SMTP Details from cPanel​

Log into cPanel:​

  • Authenticate: Enter your cPanel username and password to log in.

Find Email Accounts:​

  • Navigate: In the cPanel dashboard, locate and click on Email Accounts under the Email section.

Access SMTP Settings:​

  • Device Connection: Click on Connect Devices or Set Up Mail Client next to the selected email account.
  • Note Settings: Write down the SMTP settings provided, which typically include:
    • SMTP Server (Host)
    • Username (typically your full email address)
    • Password (email account password)
    • SMTP Port (commonly 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL)

Step 2: Update SMTP Settings in AdFox Admin Panel​

Log In to AdFox Admin Panel:​

  • Access: Use your credentials to log into the backend of your AdFox application.
  • Settings Menu: In the admin dashboard, click on Settings, then select Email to access the email settings page.
