Re-authenticating an account
If you changed your email account's password, revoked an app password, or Cora shows a connection error for an account, you may need to re-authenticate it.
Steps
- Go to Settings > Accounts.
- Select the account showing an error.
- Choose Re-authenticate (or Edit if re-authenticate isn't shown).
- Enter the new password or app password.
- Select Save — Cora will attempt to reconnect immediately.
If you use an app password (for example with Gmail), you may need to generate a new one first — see
Gmail / IMAP with an app password.
Still failing to connect?
- Double-check the server settings if this is a custom IMAP/POP3 account — see Generic IMAP account.
- Confirm your provider hasn't blocked the connection (some providers flag new sign-ins for review).
