SMTP server settings
Use the following settings when configuring any client or application to send through turboSMTP:If your ISP blocks port 25 (the default SMTP port), use port 587 or 2525 instead. Port 587 with STARTTLS is the recommended choice for most environments.
Set up in popular email clients
- Microsoft Outlook
- Mozilla Thunderbird
- Gmail / Google Workspace
- WordPress
These steps apply to Outlook for Microsoft 365, Outlook 2019, 2021, and Outlook Classic. The menu labels may vary slightly between versions.
1
Open account settings
In Outlook, go to File → Account Settings → Account Settings. Select your email account and click Change.
2
Open More Settings
Click More Settings (bottom-right of the change account dialog), then select the Outgoing Server tab.
3
Enable SMTP authentication
Check My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication, select Log on using, and enter your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. Keep these separate from your incoming-mail credentials.
4
Set the outgoing server
In your account’s server settings, set the outgoing server to
pro.turbo-smtp.com (or pro.eu.turbo-smtp.com for EU sending). Under More Settings → Advanced, set the outgoing port to 587 with STARTTLS, or 465 with SSL/TLS.5
Save and test
Click OK, then Next, and use the built-in Test Account Settings button to verify that Outlook can authenticate and send a test message through turboSMTP.
Set up in your application
For applications that send email programmatically, configure your SMTP library using the same credentials. Here’s an example configuration block you can adapt to your language or framework:Configuration example
Use the HTTP send API if your application works more easily with HTTPS and JSON. SMTP also supports MIME attachments and custom headers.
Verify your connection
After configuring your SMTP settings, send a test message to confirm everything is working:1
Log in to your dashboard
Go to dashboard.serversmtp.com and log in.
2
Check the email log
Navigate to Analytics. Any email you’ve sent through turboSMTP will appear here with its delivery status (delivered, bounced, deferred, etc.).
3
Confirm delivery
If you see your test message listed with a Delivered status, the recipient’s mail server accepted it. This does not guarantee inbox placement. If the message shows as bounced or deferred, check that your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret are entered correctly and that the port you selected is not blocked by your network or firewall.
