For chatting, we recommend a chatmail relay instead of a classic email provider.
If you run your own mail server, the most reliable way to make it
work with email clients is to publish an
autoconfig file
at
/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml on your domain.
To set up a profile with a third-party classic email provider, you may need the "advanced settings" during profile creation. Please consult your provider for the required server settings.
Gmail
Needs preparation.
To use your Gmail email address, you need to enable 2-Step Verification in your Google Account and then Create an app-specific password.
This means to create an additional password which you use only for one device or app. Please follow Google’s instructions, create an app-password at https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and then use the newly generated password to log in.
If you still have login problems, make sure IMAP is enabled in the Gmail web interface at Settings / See all settings / Forwarding and POP/IMAP / IMAP access / Enable IMAP.
Further information
Gmail places some limits on the amount of emails you may send and receive per day.
In the past, we supported Google’s Oauth as well. Due Google adding more and more bureaucracy in that area, we dropped support for that. This allows our small open source project using our limited resources in areas with larger impact.
