# Connect email server

### How to send emails from my own domain?

To ensure all emails sent to your customers reflect your agency's branding, you can connect your own email server. This allows emails to be delivered from your domain instead of AppMySite’s default email address.

#### Step 1: Go to the “Email” section

* Navigate to **Email** section from the side menu
* Configure sender details and connect your email server for outgoing messages here

#### Step 2: Add email address

* Add the From name (e.g., your agency or brand name)
* Enter the From address, which should belong to your verified domain (e.g., <hello@youragency.com>)

{% hint style="warning" %}
These details will appear as the sender's name and email on all communications sent to your customers.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 3: Provide email server credentials

* Enter the SMTP server hostname (e.g., smtp.yourprovider.com)
* Input the SMTP username (usually your email address or an API key)
* Add the SMTP password for authentication

#### Step 4: Choose connection type and port

* Select the appropriate **connect type**: Plain, SSL, or TLS
* Enter the corresponding **port number**:
  * Plain: 25
  * SSL: 465
  * TLS: 587

#### Step 5: Verify your email server

* After filling in all fields, click **Verify**
* If the server details are correct, the connection will be established successfully

{% hint style="warning" %}
If verification fails, check your SMTP credentials and ensure the port and encryption type are correctly matched.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 6: Save the configuration

* Click **Save** to apply your email settings
* Your agency will now send emails using your configured domain

{% hint style="success" %}
Emails sent from your agency account will now reflect your brand’s domain, improving deliverability and trust.
{% endhint %}
