How do I add a new email account?

Modified on Wed, 10 May, 2023 at 2:18 PM

SpinOffice will help you via a wizard where you can enter the proper account credentials and incoming mail server settings (IMAP) of your mail account.

Start the configuration from various places in the software; on the Home Dashboard, in your Inbox or from main menu option Administration -> Email -> Email accounts and than '+' for a new account. In all cases, SpinOffice will show you the following popup:

Select the email account of your choice. If it is not an Office 365, Outlook or Gmail/Google account, select the IMAP option.
Enter the email address and click on 'Start'.
Enter the account password.
- Office 365:
  We recommend to select OAuth2.O as authentication method. Follow these steps and SpinOffice will connect with your Office 365 account.
- Outlook:
  Also for Outlook, we recommend to select OAuth2.O as authentication method. Follow this steps and SpinOffice will connect with your Outlook account.
- Gmail:
  It will automatically connect. It might block SpinOffice to connect. Having problems? Here's a checklist to solve that.
- IMAP:
  SpinOffice will try to find the right IMAP settings. Click on 'Show server settings' to manually enter the right account credentials. Is it a me.com, iCloud.com or mac.com account? Then it requires an 'app-specific password' for IMAP. Click here how to create that for SpinOffice within your iCloud account.
Click on 'Connect' to make connection.
After a few minutes SpinOffice shows you the result:
- If connection is made successfully, the setup wizard is closed and your emails will come in.
- If not, please adjust the server settings; your account name, password and incoming email server. Tip: check how the account is configured on your phone, the same IMAP settings are used there.
