= Easy WP SMTP Features =

* Send email using a SMTP sever.
* You can use Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail's SMTP server if you have an account with them.
* Seamlessly connect your WordPress blog with a mail server to handle all outgoing emails (it's as if the email has been composed inside your mail account).

* Option to enable debug logging to see if the emails are getting sent out successfully or not.
* Ability to specify a Reply-to email address.
* Option to Export and Import the SMTP settings.

**a)** Easy WP SMTP General Settings

The general settings section consists of the following options

* From Email Address: The email address that will be used to send emails to your recipients
* From Name: The name your recipients will see as part of the "from" or "sender" value when they receive your message
* SMTP Host: Your outgoing mail server (example: smtp.gmail.com)
