Recovery section.

address. Specify a mailbox (To) for receiving the recovery letter. If the mailbox (From)

enter its username and password.

• SMTP server is available for users in most webmail systems. For example, the SMTP server address of Gmail is
smtp.gmail.com. You can refer to their Help page to learn the SMTP server address.
• Generally, Enable Authentication should be selected if the login of the mailbox requires username and
password.
