  5. MisarMail will receive read/send permission and start syncing your inbox.

Connecting via IMAP/SMTP

  1. Go to Settings → Email Accounts → Add Account → Manual Setup.
  2. Enter your email address, IMAP host, IMAP port (993 for TLS), SMTP host, SMTP port (587 for STARTTLS or 465 for SSL).

Gmail App Password Setup

If your Gmail account has 2-Step Verification enabled, you must use an App Password instead of your regular password:

  1. Go to your Google Account → Security → App Passwords.

  3. Copy the generated 16-character password and use it as your IMAP/SMTP password in MisarMail.
