Add an IMAP account
MailCraft works with any provider that offers IMAP for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing mail. It doesn’t support POP.
- In File › Info, choose Add Account.
- Type your address and choose Connect. For well-known providers, MailCraft fills in the servers for you.
- Enter your password and choose Connect.
App passwords
Section titled “App passwords”Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo and Fastmail don’t accept your normal password from a mail program. Create an app password in your account’s security settings with the provider, and use that instead.
Set it up by hand
Section titled “Set it up by hand”If MailCraft can’t find your servers, open Advanced options and choose Let me set up my account manually. Your provider’s help pages list these:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| User name | Usually your full email address |
| Password | Your password or app password |
| Incoming mail (IMAP) | imap.example.org, port 993, TLS |
| Outgoing mail (SMTP) | smtp.example.org, port 465 with TLS, or 587 with STARTTLS |
MailCraft always uses an encrypted connection and checks the server’s certificate. It won’t connect without one.
