### What is a Server Address?
A server address is the address of the computer that stores your email messages. When you send an email, your email client (such as the Mail app on your phone) sends the message to the server address. The server then stores the message until the recipient retrieves it.
### Server Address vs. IP Address
A server address is different from an IP address. An IP address is a numerical address that identifies a specific computer on the internet. A server address, on the other hand, is a human-readable address that is easier to remember than an IP address.
### Common Server Addresses
The most common server addresses for email are:
- IMAP: imap.gmail.com
- POP3: pop.gmail.com
- SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
These addresses are used by Gmail, but other email providers use similar addresses.
### Troubleshooting Server Address Issues
If you're having trouble connecting to your email account, you may need to check your server address. Make sure that the server address is correct and that you are using the correct port number. The port number is usually 993 for IMAP, 995 for POP3, and 587 for SMTP.
