**With someone else?**

You can find out your IMAP details by contacting your provider, though you can also usually find this by searching Google for "**<your mail provider> IMAP settings**". - Specifically, you will need the **IMAP** **host** (or **IMAP Server**) and **IMAP** **port** for your mail provider's server.

**All done! ✨**

## **Still need help?**

We do our best to autofill your IMAP details from your email address but sometimes we don't get it right or the mail server might be misconfigured.


1. If you are getting an authentication error then please make sure your email address and password are correct
2. If they are correct then please check if you need to create an app password to connect an IMAP account from your provider (if you're not sure then you can check with your mail provider)
3. If you are connecting with `imap.yourdomain.com` then you can also try the mail prefix `mail.yourdomain.com`
