IMAP Connection

Provide the details of your IMAP server.

To configure a connection to an IMAP server you will need a few properties:

• The host and port of your IMAP server
• A set of login credentials for a user that exists on the IMAP server
• The version of encryption the IMAP server is compatible with.

The setup can vary widely depending on the email service you are using. We have provided a bit of context around some popular services to get you started.

Connecting to Gmail

To set up an IMAP connection to your Gmail account, you need to create a Google App Password. Go to your Google Account and select 'Security'. Under "Signing in to Google," select App Passwords. You may need to sign in.

If you don't have this option, it might be because:

• 2 Step Verification is not set up for your account.
• 2 Step Verification is only set up for security keys.
• Your account is through work, school, or other organization.
• You turned on Advanced Protection.

At the bottom, click Select App and choose Mail, and then click Select device and choose Other (Custom name). Then, click GENERATE. You'll be given a 16-character code, which is your app password. Copy that somewhere safe.

Finally, create a connection and provide these values:

• Enter imap.gmail.com for the host
• The default values for port and security are fine
• Enter the username or email of your Gmail account
• Enter the app password you created earlier

If you run into authentication problems, ensure that your account has IMAP enabled.

Connecting to Microsoft Office 365

If your Office 365 domain does not use multi-factor authentication (this is rare), then you can use your username and password to authenticate.

If MFA is enabled, you will need to create an app password to authenticate. To create an app password, log in to the Microsoft Security Center and open the Security info tab. Click +Add method and choose App password.

If you don't have an app password option, you'll need to contact your Office 365 administrator and have them enable it.

Give your app password a name, and copy the password that is generated.

Now, create a connection and provide these values:

• Enter outlook.office365.com for the host
• The default values for port and security are fine
• Enter the username or email of your Outlook account
• Enter your password or the app password you generated
