Tips for Smooth Operation

• Use IMAP: It keeps your emails synced across devices and the server.
• Enable SSL/TLS: For secure email transmission, ensure your server uses SSL/TLS encryption on ports 993 (IMAP) and 465/587 (SMTP).
• Check DNS Records: Ensure your domain’s MX and SPF records are correctly set up for email delivery.
• Update Passwords: If you change your email password in cPanel, update it in Apple Mail immediately to avoid connection errors.
