How to connect any email account with IMAP

Step-by-step guide for connecting any email account to Leave Me Alone. Takes 1-2 minutes to complete.

Step 1: Find your IMAP details

IMAP is a way for Leave Me Alone to connect to your email account so that we can scan your mailboxes and show you emails to unsubscribe from.

You will need the IMAP host (or IMAP Server) and IMAP port for your mail provider's server.

You can usually find this by searching Google for "<your email account> IMAP settings".

E.g. Searching Google for Yahoo Mail IMAP settings

Step 2: Connect your account

1. Enter your email address and wait for us to select your account type (or you can click the dropdown on the right of the field to change the account type)

2. Enter your password (this is usually the password you use to sign in)

3. Enter the IMAP host and IMAP port you found in Step 1

4. Click Connect account
