Use the combined Add Account form

  1. Open Workspace → Accounts → Add Account.
  2. Keep SMTP + IMAP to create both connections, or choose SMTP only for sending without an inbox.
  3. Choose a provider and enter the account name, host, port, security, username, password, From email, and From name.
  4. Set Reply-To if replies should go to another inbox you control. SMTP sends mail; it does not receive replies.
  5. Optionally select Test Connection, then save. Combined setup also validates receiving. For IMAP, the selected mailbox must be accessible. Choose POP3 under Receiving protocol if your provider supports it.

No verification recipient or verification code is required to add or edit an account. The optional connection test authenticates without sending a message or increasing message usage. It does not prove From-address relay permissions or Inbox placement; use a real test message before a campaign.

Choose security and ports

Common combinations are port 587 with STARTTLS and 465 with SSL/TLS. Use the provider's exact requirements. Enter the password itself, without adding quotation marks. Use the six provider tutorials. Presets fill server details only; they do not provide credentials or OAuth.

Add receiving later

An existing SMTP identity can gain receiving without creating another sender. A receive-only identity can gain SMTP while keeping cached mail. For replies, unsubscribe, and agents, connect the actual mailbox that receives the messages.
