SMTP & Google
This article explains how to use Wooxy SMTP Service. Most internet systems use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to transfer messages between users as a dedicated push protocol. While SMTP handles sending, the POP and IMAP protocols manage mail retrieval on the recipient's side.
Things to know before starting
- As an application-layer protocol, SMTP requires the client to initiate a TCP connection to a server, typically on port 25, so that mail is sent immediately after the connection is established.
- Secure communication is managed by Transport Layer Security (TLS), a cryptographic protocol that maintains data confidentiality and integrity through robust encryption and authentication.
- This security framework includes forward secrecy, which protects historical communications from being decrypted even if private keys are later compromised.
- When using Google services, note that outgoing emails are capped at 100 per day; exceeding this limit results in a 24-hour block on further sending.
- By using digital certificates and symmetric encryption, TLS effectively verifies the identities of all parties and guarantees that data remains unaltered during transit.

Enter the email address with the verified domain and click the "Next Step" button.
Complete the fields using Wooxy SMTP credentials.
Select the TLS protocol to ensure encrypted and secure communication.
Click the "Add Account" button to proceed.
