⚙️ Important tips

  • Verify if the username and password are correct.

  • Some providers (like Google, Zoho, Umbler, Locaweb, etc.) require app passwords instead of the regular password.

  • If the test fails, check the ports and servers used.


📩 Understanding IMAP and SMTP

  • IMAP is the protocol responsible for receiving and syncing emails between the server and SprintHub.

  • SMTP is the protocol used to send emails, including mass sendings and automated communications.

💡 That is: the IMAP configuration is only for receiving messages, while mass sending should be done using an SMTP account configured specifically for that.

To configure your SMTP account for mass sendings, see the dedicated tutorial:
