Mail Accounts
Configure and manage the email accounts used for automated mail operations through the Local Server.
Adding an Account
To add a new email account, click the + Add Account button in the Local Server dashboard. You will need to provide the following details:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Account Name | A friendly name to identify the account | Primary Gmail, Support Desk |
| IMAP Host | The IMAP server address | imap.gmail.com |
| IMAP Port | The port for secure IMAP connections | 993 |
| SMTP Host | The SMTP server address | smtp.gmail.com |
| SMTP Port | The port for secure SMTP connections | 587 or 465 |
| Email Address | The full email address of the account | [email protected] |
| App Password | Application-specific password (required for 2FA providers) | Generated App Password |
Common Email Provider Settings
Use these configurations for standard email services:
| Provider | IMAP Host | IMAP Port | SMTP Host | SMTP Port |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gmail | imap.gmail.com | 993 | smtp.gmail.com | 587 / 465 |
| Yahoo | imap.mail.yahoo.com | 993 | smtp.mail.yahoo.com | 465 / 587 |
| Outlook / Office 365 | outlook.office365.com | 993 | smtp.office365.com | 587 |
| iCloud | imap.mail.me.com | 993 | smtp.mail.me.com | 587 |
IMAP Requirement
Ensure that IMAP Access is enabled in your email provider's account security settings before attempting to connect. For accounts with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled (such as Gmail), generate an App Password instead of using your primary login password.

Once an account is created, it will appear as an active card in the Mail Accounts list:
| Action | Purpose |

| Test SMTP | Verifies mail transmission by attempting a handshake with the SMTP server. |
| Edit Account | Opens the account modal to modify host, port, or credential settings. |
| Delete Account | Removes the email account from the Local Server. |
