Customer Communication
Any mailbox in the shared inbox, sent through your own server
IMAP/SMTP Email connects any standard mailbox with an app password, with presets for common providers. Mail syncs in on a schedule, sends go through your own provider, and sent messages and drafts appear in your real folders. Four switches control what the shared inbox may do, and delivery is reported honestly.
Best for: Businesses on a provider without a dedicated connector who still want one shared inbox.



The five things IMAP/SMTP Email does for you
1
Works with almost any mailbox
Presets for Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, Fastmail, and Zoho, plus custom servers.
2
Sent from your own server
Messages go out through your provider and land in your real Sent and Drafts folders.
3
Test each half before saving
Incoming and outgoing are tested separately so you fix the right one.
4
You decide what the inbox may do
Separate switches for read, sync, draft, and send.
5
Honest delivery status
No duplicate sends, and an uncertain delivery is never resent automatically.
