SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) are two different protocols used for sending and receiving emails, respectively.
To connect with an SMTP server to send email, you need to have the following information:
SMTP server address: This is the address of the server that will send your email.
SMTP port number: This is the port used by the SMTP server to receive email requests.
SMTP authentication credentials: This is a username and password combination that allows you to connect to the SMTP server.
To connect with an IMAP server to receive email, you need to have the following information:
IMAP server address: This is the address of the server that will receive your email.
IMAP port number: This is the port used by the IMAP server to receive email requests.
IMAP authentication credentials: This is a username and password combination that allows you to connect to the IMAP server.
LeadEngine supports connecting with SMTP/IMAP as long as both are on the same server and have the same credentials. So, for example, if you use Gmail, Microsoft, etc., you will have no issues connecting through these means.
Once you have this information, you can use LeadEngine to connect your inbox to the system using SMTP/IMAP to start warming up your inbox.
