This plug-in is similar to a simplified version we used before Easy WP SMTP Different. It can join many mail servers, not only our host’s mail server but also Google’s or some other third parties, so we will demonstrate it for everyone.
In the same way, first, we need To install this plug-in. The installation method is exactly the same as what we talked about before: add a plug-in, then upload the file. Just upload it directly.
WP Mail SMTP installation activation:
After uploading, open the activation. After activation, an additional WP Mail SMTP button will be on our side. We will then directly enter the settings page, where we need to configure this setting.
First, the PRO version of our first plug-in has been activated, so you don’t need to fill in the activation code after installation.
WP Mail SMTP Configuration Wizard:
WP Mail SMTP provides a wizard. We can click on the wizard. In the wizard, you can click Start, and then you can choose your mail server. For example, we see that it supports many mail servers, such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc., that are all available, so you just choose one and follow its steps.
We can directly pop it out here, enter the background, and fill it out in the background. It is the same.
WP Mail SMTP Settings:
Let’s look at the following one, which is our sending email. We need to prepare an email, and this email is our main email. This email can be used for all. For example, you may have installed some other plug-ins with SMTP, but if you check this one, it is the main one. The following is a name you fill in when you send it. When the customer receives the email, it will show that our site name is usually our site name or our brand name.
Mail server settings:
The following is his mailbox server. Let us tell you a little bit about it. The first one is the PHP mailbox server. We have told you before that WordPress comes with a PHP and no mailbox server, but the mailbox server generated by this program sends. The failure rate is relatively high and can easily end up in the trash.
So, we still have to use some other mail servers under normal circumstances. The most commonly used one is Other SMTP. After we buy the server, it will be given as a gift in the general server, or you may have to buy a mailbox, such as the one we use. Siteground, then he will give away a mailbox, and there will be some mailbox servers in the mailbox. This is Siteground. Then, you select SSL security mode and 465 for its interface.
Just fill in the mailbox created in your host, the user name of the mailbox, and the password. The backup below will be the default.
In addition to our mailbox through the host, we can also use third-party ones.
Brevo Mail Server:
For example, we use a third-party mail server like Brevo to send emails. Let’s open it and take a look. OK, after opening it, we will look at its price.
Because many people use this mailbox server, we will explain it briefly. It is also divided into different packages. So, first, let’s take a look at the free version. It supports the sending of 300 emails daily, so some small sites are completely sufficient for us. If you send many emails daily, you need to buy other packages. For example, this basic package can send 20,000 emails per month. If you are a small website, and the host you bought does not have an email server, it does not come with an email. If it does not provide an email, you can use the free one for now.
Brevo registration and setup:
The method of use is also very simple. First, let’s log in. This is because we have already registered with a Google account. If you have not registered, you can also use a Google account to register or fill in your email address. Okay, after logging in, we enter the backend management panel of this mailbox server.
Now, let’s look at SMTTP and what it requires. File: The first one needs a key, which is a third-party interface. Then, it needs a domain name to send the email, not the email address, because the domain name we are using now is a second-level domain name, so we need to go to the second-level domain. For analysis, just configure these two modules.
Brevo API key settings:
Where can I find these two modules?
It’s very simple. After you enter the background, we see a key here. After smtp clicks on the key, you can create a key.
For example, if you click Create, you first give it a name, give it a name casually, and then click Create. After it is created, a key will be generated. You copy the key and then paste it at this location.
Brevo Domain Settings:
The following domain name requires us to parse the domain name, and the same method is found in our upper right corner. There is a domain name here. The first one is our sending email, and the second one is the domain name. We have created one before, and then we will create it again. You click in and create it directly. Then, enter your domain name here. For example, we enter a domain name here. After entering it, you need to select your domain name provider here. If you are hooking up and buying it from Alibaba Cloud or other places, you can choose another and click Create.
After creating it, we need to add these two parsing records, the same as your A record parsing. Wherever your email server is, you will parse it. After parsing, then click this. I have just parsed it. But now, we have not parsed it.
Brevo DNS settings:
Let’s look at the following one. We have parsed it. After parsing, it will display a check mark so that we can use it.
So, in addition to the domain name we need to set, the other one is our outgoing email. You can set up the outgoing email at will. As long as your domain name is bound to this platform and parsed, you can add a sending email address and name it whatever you want.
Then this email must be @ plus your domain name. You can fill in the first letters casually. For example, we add an office here, give it a name, and then click to save the email. It can also be used as our sending email. , because our domain name has been resolved, we can also fill in the content of our domain name resolution here, and then this email can also be used as our outgoing email. Of course, the domain name we resolve needs to be filled in here. Fill in and save it after you finish it. After saving it, you have to test it.
Send mail test:
Here, we click to open it, and there is a tool. Then we click to enter an email and then send it. If it prompts success, our mail system will be delivered and ready.
The most important thing is the first configuration of our mailbox server. This is about the use and configuration method of the WP Mail SMTP plug-in.
