| 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 should normally be 993 (secure) 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 sever side supports it. |
| Authentication | This can be either Password or OAuth. OAuth is the correct setting for ‘Modern Authentication’. Click on ‘Authorize with OAuth…’ to setup your OAuth settings. |
| Mailboxes | Select remote mailboxes that should be checked for new messages |
| Check every | Select the interval in which to check for new message. |
| Leave message on server | If this is checked then e-mail messages will not be automatically deleted after receiving them. |
| Store attachments | If this is checked then all e-mail attachments are automatically downloaded and stored in the database. |
| Use IDLE | If this is checked then the IDLE IMAP extension is used if supported by the server. This options makes sure that the IMAP channel is notified on receiving a new message. This greatly improves the responsiveness of the IMAP channel. |
