Connect other email over IMAP

Any mail service with IMAP works. Add the inbox, check the IMAP server we found (or pick Yahoo, Fastmail, or Zoho from Common services), then enter your password on the private connect form.

Steps

  1. On Inboxes, enter a label and the email address.
  2. If we find your mail server, it is filled in. Check it. If not, set Mail service to Other (IMAP) and fill in the server details.
  3. Choose Add inbox, then Connect.
  4. On the private form, check the Username, enter the Password, and choose Connect.

Server settings

ServiceIMAP serverPort
Yahoo Mailimap.mail.yahoo.com993
Fastmailimap.fastmail.com993
Zoho Mailimap.zoho.com993
Your own domainOften mail.yourdomain.com. Your mail host's help pages list it.993

Pick Yahoo, Fastmail, or Zoho under Common services and the server is filled in for you. The Username is usually your full email address. The connection always uses SSL/TLS.

Which password to use

Many services, including Yahoo and Fastmail, want an app password instead of your normal password when another app connects. Create one in your mail service's security settings. You can revoke it there later.

We test the password against your server before we store it. If the test fails, nothing is kept.

What your AI can do over IMAP

  • Read, search, archive, trash, and mark as junk, with undo.
  • Search the whole mailbox on your server, not only the synced mail.
  • Write drafts, and send them after you turn sending on and approve each one.

For safety, we only connect to public mail servers. A server on a private network, like one at home behind your router, will not work.
