Enable SSL for Charter Email

For better security, enable SSL for both incoming and outgoing mail:

Under "Incoming Settings", tap on "SMTP" and enable "SSL".
Under "Outgoing Settings", tap on "SMTP" and enable "SSL".

Adjust Port Numbers

If SSL is still not working, try adjusting the port numbers:

Under "Incoming Settings", change the "Port" to 993.
Under "Outgoing Settings", change the "Port" to 465.

After making these changes, try sending a test email to ensure everything is working correctly. If you're still having trouble, consider contacting Charter's customer support for further assistance.
