Please check if the email client-server supports SSL, If yes then check if the Hostname is entered correctly.


This process is valid for all mails, AOL, Google, Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail, Exchange, etc


  1. Keep your email id and password handy
  2. Use this link to find out your Incoming and Outgoing server settings by entering your email address

https://support.apple.com/mail-settings-lookup

If it is not available in the link above contact your email client


The GIF is self-explanatory.
