Settings
| Property | Description |
| Server | The host name or IP address of the IMAP server. For instance “imap.yourdomain.dom” or “192.168.1.1”. |
| Port | The TCP port to connect to the IMAP server. This is normally 993 for secure connections or 143. |
| Security | This can be either NONE, STARTTLS or TLS/SSL. STARTTLS is the most common setting. This means that the connection is secured only if the server side supports it. |
| Authentication | This can be either NONE, PASSWORD or OAUTH. OAuth (OAUTH) is the correct setting for Modern Authentication. Click on Authorize with OAuth to set up your OAuth settings. |
| Mailboxes | Select remote mailboxes that are checked for new messages. Mailboxes are stored in the database and API separated by double pipes: (||). Each mailbox has three properties separated by double semicolons (;;). Enabled (0 or 1), Mailbox name and an empty/reserved parameter. For example: 1;;INBOX;;||1;;Invoices;; |
| Check every | Select the interval used to check for new messages. |
| Leave message on server | If this is checked, E-mail messages are not automatically deleted after receiving them. |
| Store attachments | If this is checked, all E-mail attachments are automatically downloaded and stored in the database. |
| Use IDLE | If this is checked, the IMAP IDLE extension is used if supported by the server. This ensures the IMAP channel is notified when a new message arrives. This improves responsiveness significantly. |
