IMAP Accounts

Some sites will send a code to your email during checkout. IMAP allows Valor to scan your incoming emails and automatically find and enter that code into your tasks, speeding up the checkout process. Click the MAP Accounts card on the Misc page to go to that page.

To begin, click the blue Add icon in the top left corner. This will open a window where you can add your IMAP settings.

• IMAP Server: Enter your email provider’s IMAP server. This will default to imap.gmail.com for Gmail accounts.

• Username: Enter your full email address.

• Account/App Password: Enter your email password or app password. For Gmail and some other providers, you must use an app password instead of your normal password.

For Gmail, you must use an App Password to set up IMAP.

Once finished, click Create, and your IMAP account will be added. After adding your IMAP account, it should show Connected in the connection column and Waiting For Emails in the status column. The image below uses invalid information as an example, so it shows Disconnected instead.

If you have multiple email accounts, it is recommended to set up email forwarding to one main account and add IMAP for that account. To learn how to forward emails, click here.
