What is the "Connection Timeout" error in SMTP/IMAP?

How to Fix the "Connection Timeout" Error in SMTP/IMAP?
Let's break down the troubleshooting steps to fix the pesky "Connection Timeout" error in SMTP/IMAP in a super-friendly manner! π οΈπ
1οΈβ£π Check Your Network Connection
Make sure your internet connection is stable and running smoothly. No Wi-Fi dragons causing trouble, right? ππ
2οΈβ£ π¨ Confirm Server Settings
Make sure you have the correct server settings for your email provider.
These include the SMTP/IMAP server addresses, ports, and SSL/TLS settings. Refer to your email provider's documentation or contact their support for assistance.
Generic port numbers with encryption type for SMTP: 25 (Encryption as "None"), 465 (SSL/TLS), 587 (TLS/None)
Generic port numbers with encryption type for IMAP: 143 (SSL/TLS), 993 (SSL/TLS)
If all your settings are correct, but you are still facing the connection issue, then there is a high chance that your SMTP or IMAP server is down or unavailable.
3οΈβ£π¦Verify Your Login Credentials
You might have entered the wrong email credentials. Double-check that you've entered the correct email address and password. It's easy to mistype or forget a character, so take a moment to ensure accuracy.
In most cases, the Email address and Username should be the same.
Use the same password that you use while logging into your email inbox.
