How to configure WP Mail:
Setting up your e-mail account and filling in the fields in WP Mail varies depending on the provider you use.
From Email: Enter the desired sender email address.
From Name: Specify the name to be displayed for the account.
Mailer: Choose “Other SMTP” (or the desired server).
Return Path: Check the “Set the return-path to match from email” box.
SMTP Host: Enter LOCALWEB’s sending server, in this case email-ssl.com.br, if you choose “Other SMTP”.
Encryption: Activate the “SSL” option for data encryption.
SMTP Port: Enter the port of the outgoing server; at Locaweb, we use port 587.
Authentication: Click and enable the option until it is ON.
SMTP Username: Use the same account as in “From Email”.
SMTP Password: Enter the password for the account mentioned.
Click on “Save Setting” to save your settings.
Done! Once this is done, simply go into the settings and send a test email to a recipient of your choice (a personal email for example).
