The video and detailed instructions provided below will walk you through the setup process and highlight key points to consider. ### Step 1: Find SMTP server settings in snapAddy Dashboard - Log in snapAddy dashboard - Go to settings in the upper right corner - Find the "[Email server](https://app.snapaddy.com/settings/email)" page under organization settings Step 2: Fill in the information from your server provider There are many affordable e-mail providers that you can easily purchase and have a working server for your follow-up e-mails - Visit the website of your selected email provider to locate all the necessary SMTP access details. - Choose the host name and port suitable for the **SMTP configuration** - The username and password should match the credentials you use to log into your provider's website. ### Step 3: Test your configuration - Click on "**Test configuration**". ![](https://portal.snapaddy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-01-2024-07-53-02-6516-AM.png?width=502&height=154&name=image-png-Oct-01-2024-07-53-02-6516-AM.png) - Once you see, that the connection to the e-mail server was successful, you can scroll down and **save configuration**.  ![](https://portal.snapaddy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-01-2024-07-55-33-0862-AM.png?width=487&height=121&name=image-png-Oct-01-2024-07-55-33-0862-AM.png) 🎉 Now your SMTP server is configured and you can start sending follow-up e-mails.   **Why is it better to use an SMTP relay server instead of Microsoft 365/Outlook SMTP?**  Documentation of Microsoft explicitly points out that their server are **not suitable** for sending mass e-mails, since they don't work as a proper relay-server. Therefore even if your company already uses Microsoft, it is better to look for other SMTP server options.    - [Global Settings](https://portal.snapaddy.com/knowledge/global-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) -
