Common questions
Everything you need to know.
Is UWH SMTP Connect completely free?
Yes. All features in version 1.2.3 are free, with no plugin license or premium feature gate. Your email provider may have separate charges or account restrictions.
Does selecting Google or Microsoft connect via OAuth?
No. The provider cards fill standard SMTP settings only. Google can use an eligible App Password. Microsoft 365 may restrict or disable password-based SMTP; OAuth is not included.
Does a successful test guarantee inbox delivery?
No. A successful transport response indicates the server accepted the send request. Final inbox placement depends on DNS authentication, mail-provider policies and recipient filtering.
Can I send emails through my hosting provider?
Yes, when the provider offers compatible SMTP credentials and your WordPress hosting allows outgoing connections to the required port.
