# Email Server Configuration The Hexnode UEM console comes pre-configured with a default mail server to send users email notifications and alerts. Still, if desired, administrators can associate their organizational email server as the outgoing mail server on Hexnode. Once successfully configured, Hexnode will send all the mails like enrollment requests, usage reports etc., to the administrators and users via this email.

Please check your port number, authentication”, despite entering the correct credentials. Try [signing with an app password](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en), if you use two-step verification on your account. If you don’t use two-step verification, then head down to [enable access through less secure apps](https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1). You need to enable **Less secure app access** to establish a connection with the POP/IMAP protocol. You might also need to clear the CAPTCHA validation and allow access to your Google account from [here](//accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha%E2%80%9D).
