Below I will explain how to configure the Email setting for your blogengine website when you host in the GoDaddy server.

First, log in to Admin side using URL:www.yourdomain.com/admin

In the left side, menu navigate to SETTINGS > E-mail

Please note that we are discussing a scenario where we want to receive emails from our blog site into your gmail account. The steps mentioned are only relating to gmail account.

Fill in the email address of the Gmail account and password. In the SMTP Server field instead of smtp.gmail.com put relay-hosting.secureserver.net. This is for the GoDaddy hosting provider this setting may be different for other hosting providers.

Also, change the port number from 587 to 25.
The subject prefix is the default heading of the email when we receive email through our website using the credentials of this Gmail account provided in the admin side.

After you enter the following details test the Email using TEST EMAIL SETTING.
