Connecting a Custom Email via SMTP/IMAP

If your email provider is not Gmail or Outlook, you can connect it to Crono using your custom SMTP and IMAP settings.

This setup lets you send and receive emails directly from Crono.

Step 1: Go to Mailbox settings

1. Open Crono.

2. Navigate to Account Settings → Integrations → Mailbox.

3. Click Add new.

4. In the modal that appears, select Other email provider.

5. Click Connect.

Step 2: Fill in your email provider details

You’ll now see this form:

Fill in each field as follows:

• Sender name: The name shown when you send emails from Crono

• Email address: Your full email address

SMTP settings:

• Login: Your full email address

• Password: Your email password

• Server address: SMTP host from your provider

• Port: Usually 465

• Enable SSL: Keep this checked if your provider supports SSL

IMAP settings:

• Login: Your full email address

• Password: Your email password

• Server address: IMAP host from your provider

• Port: Usually 993

• Enable SSL: Keep this checked if your provider supports SSL

Once all fields are filled in, click Save.

Step 3: Test the connection

Crono will verify your SMTP and IMAP configuration automatically.

If the connection is successful, your mailbox will appear in the list and start syncing.

If the connection fails, double-check:

• Your email and password are correct.

• You’re using the right ports and SSL/TLS settings.

• IMAP access is enabled in your email account.
