Get started
Add an account in Settings → Mail Accounts using your provider’s IMAP and SMTP settings and password or app-specific password. For PGP, import or generate keys in PGP Keys and select the account’s private key in account settings.
Current account support uses password/app-password authentication with TLS. Foreground sync and optional background refresh are available; provider OAuth sign-in, background push and server-synchronized drafts are not. Mail opens as restricted HTML by default without remote images. Subjects and routing headers are not PGP-encrypted.
