2. Classic Email SMTP Setup

Email is definitely one of the notification systems that you need to setup for notifications. Lots of applications use email for user verification, to setup accounts, but also to get notified for events, changes etcetera. 

Now, every Email provider has an SMTP (For Outgoing Mail) and IMAP (For Incoming mail) server, for instance Porkbun follows the following Email Client configuration. However, one could also have setup his own email server obviously with Mailcow for instance. 

In this Porkbun example the SMTP server sits on port 587 with STARTTLS and the IMAP server on port 993 with SSL. Then the only thing left is to write down your username i.e email address and password. These configurations are the ones we will user for applications to notify us for any kind of change.
