: Phpbb3 email settings for Zoho SMTP server I've spent a while guessing and googling, and haven't found an answer. In the past I setup my forums to send via my Gmail account, but spambots

STEP 1. Check your host can send SMTP mail over SSL

To send emails using ZOHO your web host must have enabled SASLv2 and STARTTLS installed, you may need to contact your web server host to double check.

STEP 2. Enabling POP3


You need to enable POP access of the Zoho Mail account, to start
accessing the account in other POP clients. You can enable POP access
for all emails from the beginning or from the particular day.


Log in to https:www.zoho.commail
Click Settings >> Mail >> Email Forwarding POP and IMAP.
Under POP Access select one of the options below

Enable - Enable POP access for all emails in the account.
Enable from now on – Enable POP access for emails that arrive from the time the user enables POP access.

Click Save for the changes to be effective.



STEP 3. Adding the details to PHPBB3


Use SMTP server for e-mail: Yes
SMTP server address: ssl://smtp.zoho.com
SMTP server port: 465
Authentication method for SMTP: LOGIN
SMTP username: Your Username
SMTP password: Your Password


STEP 4 (Optional). Finding Errors

If any any point you get stuck you should seek help from the error log, normally found in Admin Control Panel > Maintenance tab > Error log.
