Documentation Troubleshooting

Other email (IMAP) problems

Host, port, app passwords and provider enablement.


  • "Cannot reach the server" — check the IMAP host under Advanced settings (imap.yourdomain.com may not exist; check your provider's documentation).
  • "Authentication failed" — use an app-specific password, not the account password.
  • Zoho: enable IMAP Access in Zoho Mail settings first.
  • Port 993 requires SSL; port 143 is unencrypted — prefer 993.
