How can server settings impact the way emails are received and displayed in email clients like Outlook?

Server settings such as email protocols, authentication methods, and encryption settings can impact how emails are received and displayed in email clients like Outlook. To ensure emails are delivered correctly, it is important to configure the server settings to match the requirements of the email client. This includes setting up proper authentication methods, enabling secure connections, and configuring the correct email protocols.
