Hi @BYK 

SMTP server settings are needed to send email from a Mail. com account through a different email supplier.

Follow these steps to configure SMTP in your system :

1. Run these commands from root folder to install SMTP in your system:
   

   composer require mageplaza/module-smtp
   php bin/magento setup:upgrade
   php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

2. Navigate in admin to Store > Configurations > Mageplaza > SMTP.
3. Enable SMTP.
4. In the SMTP Provider field, choose Gmail (choose other if you’re using it).
5. Click Auto Fill button to fill Host, Port, Authentication and Protocol will be automatically filled up to match Gmail provider you had chosen.
6. In the Username and Password field, fill the gmail account you just have setup in the mentioned STEP 1.
7. In Test Email Recipient, enter the email you want to sent to. A successful report will show up if thing worked properly.

Boom ! Your email will be dispatching now if everything is setup correct.
