4. Select one of the following options, based on your mail provider's requirements:

  • None: No encryption protocol is used.
  • SSL: Uses the Secure Sockets Layer protocol.
  • TLS: Uses the Transport Layer Security protocol.

5. After selecting the protocol, it is recommended to verify the connection by clicking the Verify Connection button.

6. Save the changes to apply the new encryption setting.
