Perfect! Works with Cloudways as well.

1) Server Management > SMTP > OWN SMTP > Host > [OUTGOING SERVER]
2) Applications > Application Settings > General > from address > [USERNAME]
3) Wordpress > Add new Plugin > SMTP by WP FORM > FILL IN AS PER ABOVE

DONE!
hope it helps

[scholzdigital]

24 hours working on that issue. Not even the Cloudways support could fix it. Now it works and I'm thankful :)

Simply said... my mails went into spam first. Came here. When I used the SMTP plugin mails go in the inbox as promised. Thank you, Mr.Crafter!

I F-bomb-ing LOVE you. Seriously! I spent 2 to 3 weeks a few months ago banging my head against the wall trying to get an email subscription to work on my blog and failing. I had no idea why. It was so frustrating. NOW I KNOW WHY. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! A million thank yous. :-) Hopefully, now I am good to go!

Been listening to you for a few years now...the best email guy in the biz imho

You are the guru of gurus in WordPress realm

You should also ensure the SPF and DKIM (under Deliverability) settings are set in the DNS Zone of CPanel. If not the email still has a 50/50 possibility of going into spam or junk

I spent all this time trying to figure out smtp services out there and never even thought of this simple solution. :-)

Thank you very much Adam.

I have followed through your instructions...and the email goes into my spam folder! (By the way, why apologise? What's the problem? Do not give in to intimidation.)
UPDATE: OK, so I backed right out of everything, Siteground included, and then restarted, sent an email, and it appears to have worked. Phew. Also, I want to say thank you Adam for your very informative tutorials. I'm building my first website in about twenty years, this time using Wordpress and Elementor...all new to me. Your tutorials, along with some from a few other guys, have made it relatively plain sailing for me. I'm not finished yet...just heading into woocommerce pages and digital download stuff, so hope you can help there also. Thanks again. Really appreciated.

Adam great video! Absolutely loved the shotgun analogy, awesome dude! Glad you started the conversation. I would like to add some important points. Yes you MUST send emails authenticated. Plus your domain name should have a SPF record that says the SMTP service has the right to send email on your domain names behalf. Plus a DKIM record in DNS is highly recommended as well. We add 'Post SMTP' plugin to our clients WordPress sites and connect it to Mailgun using their API. Easier to set than SMTP.

DUDE! You are saving my life with these

[tissletti]

Can't thank you enough. Still works in 2023

[memphismarkmusic]

Thanks so much this maybe from 2019 but it saved my soul! Been using Elastic mail on Cloudways and it's become eratic. Followed what you said and it just works everytime no issue. I can't thank you enough for your help. I owe you a few beers!!!!

[dfrazier]

Man! I'm glad I watched this! I was getting ready

to purchase an email suite for $259.00.
I've watched a number of Adam's videos and
they are all good; concise and to the point!

[Jornes]

Thanks for the video! I came to your video suggested by the Elementor User Group. You tell everything clear. Appreciate that! :)

"Who the hell are you?.... chak chak" Hilarious!

[georgiaevansrealty]

BEST video ever. Thank you so much! I have been trying forever to figure out how to get my emails delivered. Worked perfectly.

[cjhediger]

My email is working thanks to you! Your videos are the best!

[dazeaston]

Thank you for this video. I'd like to add that I couldn't get the email to work via HostGator and had to use my Office 365 email IMAP account details instead. Works like a charm now.

[NatureGloseScience]

I'm saved YET again tonight with one of Adam's videos. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Adam for giving us soooo much value!! I deeply appreciate you!
