Connecting your mail
Gmail, Outlook or any IMAP mailbox, in one inbox.
Connect the mailboxes you actually use and Noots converges them into one in-app inbox, so you're not bouncing between tabs. There are three ways in.
| Provider | How | Sync |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | Connect Gmail — sign in with Google, no app password. | Incremental: after the first pass it only fetches what changed. |
| Outlook / Microsoft 365 | Connect Outlook. | A full pass each time. Large mailboxes sync more slowly than Gmail. |
| Any IMAP mailbox | Username and password (or an app password), with presets for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud and generic IMAP. | Incremental, tracked by message id. |
For a generic IMAP mailbox, open Server settings to enter the IMAP and SMTP host and port. The connect button tests the connection before saving it.
Folders
The rail is Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Archive and Trash, plus All accounts, Starred, and one row per connected mailbox. Add more mailboxes any time with Connect another mailbox; each can be disconnected on its own.
Scheduled send
Compose lets you pick a future send time — the picker won't let you choose a time that's already gone. Queued mail goes out on a two-minute sweep.
Sending problems? See Troubleshooting → Email isn't sending. Connections can also simply expire — reconnect the account and grant the requested access.
