How can PHP developers troubleshoot and resolve mail server problems that may be affecting the functionality of the PHPMailer class?

To troubleshoot and resolve mail server problems affecting the PHPMailer class, PHP developers can check the server's error logs for any relevant information, ensure that the SMTP settings in the PHP code are correct, and test the connection to the mail server using a simple script. Additionally, developers can try sending emails using a different email client to see if the issue is specific to PHPMailer. 

// Example code snippet to test SMTP connection
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'mail.example.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'your@example.com';
$mail->Password = 'your_password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Port = 465;

if($mail->smtpConnect()){
    echo 'SMTP connection successful';
} else {
    echo 'SMTP connection failed';
}
