# IMAP

> Connect any email provider via IMAP to sync emails and contacts.

Connects to any email provider that supports IMAP (Gmail with app password, Outlook, Yahoo, Fastmail, self-hosted). Same sync behavior as the Gmail source but without OAuth — uses IMAP credentials directly.

## Connect

1. Go to **Sources** in the dashboard
2. Click **Connect** next to IMAP / SMTP
3. Enter your IMAP host, port, email, and password (or app password)
4. Initial sync starts automatically

### Common IMAP settings

| Provider | Host                    | Port |
| -------- | ----------------------- | ---- |
| Gmail    | `imap.gmail.com`        | 993  |
| Outlook  | `outlook.office365.com` | 993  |
| Yahoo    | `imap.mail.yahoo.com`   | 993  |
| Fastmail | `imap.fastmail.com`     | 993  |

<Note>
  For Gmail, use an [App Password](https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords) instead of your regular password. Your account needs 2-factor authentication enabled.
</Note>

## What gets synced

Same as Gmail — emails, contacts, relationships. See [Gmail](/sources/gmail) for details on what gets created and what gets filtered.

## Sync frequency

Incremental sync every 5 minutes via IMAP `SINCE` search.
