Generic IMAP account

If your provider isn't Gmail, you can add any IMAP account manually by entering its server settings. Check with your email provider for the exact values if you don't already know them.

What you'll need

FieldTypical value
Incoming server (IMAP)e.g. imap.yourprovider.com
IMAP port993 (SSL) or 143 (STARTTLS)
Outgoing server (SMTP)e.g. smtp.yourprovider.com
SMTP port465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
Usernameusually your full email address
Passwordyour account password or app-specific password

Steps

  1. In Cora, go to Settings > Accounts > Add account.
  2. Choose the Custom / IMAP option.
  3. Enter your display name and email address.
  4. Enter the incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server details from the table above.
  5. Select the appropriate security setting (SSL or TLS) for each server.
  6. Enter your password and select Save.
If Cora reports a connection error, double-check the server addresses and ports with your provider, and confirm the security (SSL/TLS) setting matches what they require.
