Available Email Drivers

PHP Mail

It will use the php mail() function to Send email.

When you choose the PHP mail function, you are sending email directly from your server. This can cause issues like, email could be marked as spam by the email providers.

SMTP

It will use SMTP to send email. In Email Settings chose SMTP from the Dropdown of Send Email using

System Email	Default Sender Email
SMTP Host	SMTP Host, e.g. mail.example.com
SMTP Username	Username, e.g. [email protected]
SMTP Password	Enter the SMTP password
SMTP Port	The default port your mail server uses, e.g. 25
SMTP Secure	Select the SSL type

SMTP Common Troubleshooting

SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
That means, your server can't connect with the SMTP host.

Check the port you are trying to connect with is not blocked with the Firewall.
Make sure the host is reachable from your server ip.
Finally make sure the Mail is enabled in your Server or is not blocked by server security settings.
If you are using Gmail SMTP, you must first allow application access to your GMAIL address

Mailgun

The API based drivers like Mailgun is often convenient and faster than SMTP servers. Business suite supports mailgun as Email Sending Driver. Choose mailgun from the dropdown list & select mailgun domain and mailgun API key. You must first signup & configure mailgun before using this driver. Also make sure php curl is enabled in your server.
