Connecting your email account allows you to send and receive messages directly within Email | Govaio, track opens and clicks, and keep your communication history organized alongside your contacts and deals.

Email | Govaio supports three types of email connections: Gmail (via OAuth), Microsoft Outlook (via OAuth), and custom IMAP/SMTP servers. For Gmail and Outlook, the process is straightforward. Navigate to Settings > Email and click "Add Email Account." Select your provider and authorize Email | Govaio to access your account. No passwords are stored on our servers.

For custom IMAP/SMTP connections, you will need your incoming mail server address and port (usually 993 for IMAP with SSL), your outgoing mail server address and port (usually 587 for SMTP with TLS), and your email username and password. Enter these details in the connection form and click "Test Connection" to verify everything works before saving.

Once connected, Email | Govaio will begin syncing your recent emails. This initial sync may take a few minutes depending on the size of your mailbox. Going forward, new emails are synced in real time.

Important: Make sure your email provider allows third-party app access. For Gmail, you may need to enable "Less secure app access" or generate an App Password if you have 2FA enabled and are using IMAP directly.
