Enabling IMAP, POP and SMTP

Many email providers disable IMAP, POP and SMTP access by default. If you're directed to this page by an Auth-Email support message, use the guides linked below to help find and configure the settings for your chosen email provider. Once you've enabled access, your account will be available through Auth-Email using the settings shown on your dashboard.
