How to set up a cdmon account in the WP Mail SMTP plugin
Sending emails is a fundamental part of any WordPress website. Whether you manage a personal blog, an online store, or a corporate site, the ability to send emails is essential to maintain effective communication with your users, customers, and followers. However, WordPress by default uses the built-in email function, which can sometimes present delivery issues.
This is where the WP Mail SMTP plugin comes into play. This plugin is a solution to improve the reliability of your email system.
In this guide, we show the steps to install and configure a cdmon email account in this plugin.

Once all data has been entered, click Save and Continue.
Next, the plugin will show additional features you can enable to manage everything from the same place.
