Additional Information

IMAP and SMTP Setup

1. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows the integration to access emails from your inbox.
2. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used to send emails. Ensure that your email provider supports these protocols.

Example Configuration for Gmail

1. IMAP Host: imap.gmail.com
2. IMAP Port: 993
3. SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com

If using Gmail, you may need to enable Less Secure Apps in your Google Account settings or generate an App Password if 2-Step Verification is enabled.

After completing the setup, be sure to test the integration to confirm that emails are being sent and received correctly.
