TormanoAnything that is not Outlook connects with an app password, and you can do it yourself: Settings > Email Accounts > Connect > “Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail or other”.
Providers with built-in settings
Pick one of these and Tormano already knows the server addresses, so you only supply your email address and an app password. Tormano links straight to the page where you generate one:
- Gmail and Google Workspace: myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
- iCloud Mail: an Apple app-specific password
- Yahoo: a Yahoo app password
- Fastmail: a Fastmail app password
Gmail is on this list on purpose: Tormano never asks Google for access to your mailbox, so an app password is what you grant instead. It lets Tormano sign in directly and keep a copy of your messages, including their full text and everyone on them, and Tormano holds that app password, encrypted, for as long as the mailbox stays connected. Connect your own inbox sets out what is stored and for how long.
Any other provider
Choose Other and enter the incoming and outgoing server addresses your host gave you, whether that is Zoho, Proton Bridge, or your own domain’s mail host. Tormano uses your provider’s secure connection settings.
What an app password is
An app password is a one-off password your provider generates for a single application. Tormano never sees your real account password, the app password works only for mail, and you can revoke it on its own at any time without changing anything else.
Tormano signs in to the mailbox before saving anything. If it cannot, you get your provider’s own reason back, whether that is the password or the server address, and no account is created.
Everything else still works
Even without a connected inbox, Tormano still sends your campaigns, receipts, and notifications. A connected inbox is what adds replies on contact timelines and sending from your own address.
Security
Your mail credentials are stored encrypted.
