IMAP Server
Learn how to connect to an IMAP server.
Introduction
Movebot can connect to any mailbox that supports an IMAP connection, including personal Gmail accounts.
Movebot connects to IMAP servers by you providing the Hostname and Port and a Username and Password combination.
Requirements
To connect Movebot to an IMAP Server you will need:
Hostname and Port for the IMAP server
A Username and Password for each source account
Configuration Steps
Login to Movebot and create a new project or task
When configuring the source or destination, choose to Create new Connection
Select IMAP Server from the list of available connections and set the connection name
Provide the Hostname for the IMAP server. Update the Port number if required.
Provide a Test/Default Username and Password. Note that IMAP credentials can be overridden per transfer, which allows you to configure and manage projects with multiple user accounts
Save and Test connection in Movebot
If the connection has succeeded, you can continue
CSV Formatting for IMAP Credentials for Multiple Users
When moving to/from an IMAP server, you can provide credentials for each user directly in the CSV file by specifying a "source_secret" and/or "destination_secret" column.
To add a CSV file with multiple users, within a project click Add Transfer and then Import Transfer from CSV in the dropdown.
The format for these columns shown below.
