Quick Answer
How do you add a third-party SMTP account?
Go to Settings → Email Services, select Add Service or Add Email Service, choose Other or the listed provider, and enter your provider's SMTP host, port, username, password, and required TLS/SSL settings. Save the configuration and complete any provider verification steps.
Sending Email Through Your Own Provider
BizStackPro can send emails through an external SMTP provider such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or another SMTP-supported service.
This can be useful for lower-volume sending or when you need messages to send through a specific mailbox.
Your provider must support SMTP, and you must follow its authentication requirements. Some providers may require an app password or another supported authentication method.
SMTP settings must match your provider
Incorrect hostnames, ports, credentials, or security settings can prevent emails from sending successfully.

How to Find Your SMTP Host & Port
Your SMTP host and port depend on your email provider. The most reliable source is the provider's official documentation.
If you use a reference list, confirm the values against your provider before adding them to BizStackPro.
Use outbound SMTP settings
Make sure you are using the provider's outbound SMTP hostname and port rather than its IMAP settings.
