Unable to set up new IMAP mail account on my iPhone 13

How do I find the Mail server port settings on my iPhone 13? I am unable to set up a new IMAP mail account on my phone because, I suspect, the port settings are incorrect

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

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

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

Mail - Official Apple Support

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

The GIF is self explanatory.

iCloud Account IMAP and SMTP

The issue is I cannot see the screen with the server ports on my iOS. I have followed all the steps but settings not accepted. I am being asked to enter my password which I have already done. SSL is unchecked. Somebody please help.

I have now been able to access the advanced settings page. The incoming and outgoing port numbers are correct, the user name and host names have been entered correctly. Yet I am receiving an error message. The message says "No password provided for XXXX. Please go to Mail account settings and enter a password". The irony is, to reach the advanced settings page I have previously entered the password for my Mail account. I am trapped in a circular loop.

Latest - the account has been set up. The phone just took a long time to recognise the settings. A remaining issue now is I am not getting notifications for new incoming mail on my phone, on the new account (all notification permissions are turned on). Any suggestions on what might be the problem?
