FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

To connect your account, you’ll need the IMAP host name, port number, email address (as the username), and your password or app password (if required by your provider).

This error usually occurs when the entered credentials are incorrect or the account requires an App Password for third-party access. Email services like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Zoho Mail need an app password for secure sign-in when using migration or backup tools.

If 2-Step Verification (2FA) is enabled, you must generate and use an App Password from your email account’s security settings. Regular login passwords won’t work with third-party tools when 2FA is active.

Yes. The Cigati Webmail Backup Wizard supports OAuth authentication for Gmail, Outlook, and Microsoft 365 accounts. It’s a more secure login method that doesn’t store or expose your password.

ProtonMail doesn’t provide direct IMAP access. To use it with the software, you’ll need to set up ProtonMail Bridge, which creates a local IMAP connection compatible with third-party tools.

Use your full email address as the username and the mailbox password created in your hosting control panel. The IMAP host is generally mail.yourdomain.com with port 993 for secure access.

Most email providers allow you to enable IMAP from account settings. For example, in Gmail: Settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP → Enable IMAP. Yahoo, AOL, and Zoho also have similar options in security or mail settings.
