awaBerry | Connecting a Custom IMAP Inbox
Link any IMAP-compatible email account to Mailboard AI by entering its account name, credentials, and IMAP / SMTP server details.
Connecting a Custom IMAP Inbox
Summary
The Custom IMAP option links any IMAP-compatible mail provider that is not Gmail, Microsoft, or iCloud. On the Inbox credentials screen you supply your account details and the provider's incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server addresses and ports. If your provider requires a dedicated app password, use that instead of your normal login password. Everything is stored encrypted on your device.
Features
- Account name — a label for the inbox (required).
- Email address — your full email address; must contain an "@".
- Username — the login user name, usually the same as the email address (required).
- Password / App password — your mailbox password, or a provider-issued app password where required (required).
- IMAP server — the incoming mail server hostname (required), with an IMAP port.
- SMTP server — the outgoing mail server hostname (required), with an SMTP port.
