In this guide, you’ll learn how to connect your Locaweb account to Snov.io using SMTP credentials and server settings.
Snov.io lets you connect your own business or personal mailbox and send email campaigns through your email provider’s servers to have total control over your sender account’s performance.
If you have an email account with Locaweb, you can take advantage of its emailing capabilities and connect it to Snov.io.
The process of connecting involves three primary steps:
1) Getting your Locaweb SMTP credentials
2) Configuring a new email account in Snov.io
3) Configuring optional settings
1) Getting your SMTP credentials
The first step is to obtain the SMTP username and password for your Locaweb account.
The SMTP username should be the login or email address associated with your Locaweb account and is used to authenticate with the SMTP server.
The SMTP password is the password used to log in to your Locaweb account.
2) Configuring a new email account in Snov.io
In the second step, you’ll need to enter your SMTP and IMAP settings on the email account configuration page.
- Go to the Email Accounts page.
This page will display a list of all the email accounts that you have connected to Snov.io.
Start adding a new account by clicking the Add email account button.
- Choose Locaweb from the email service providers list.
The email account settings page will open.
Note: Please select an appropriate provider so that we can suggest default server settings for you during the setup process.
Snov.io connects to your provider’s SMTP server to send emails to your recipients.
In the SMTP section, enter your SMTP credentials and the provider’s server settings for sending emails.
