How to Connect Automatically
If GRIN successfully detects your email provider and your email provider offers discovery options you will be prompted to enter your password and grant GRIN access view, compose and modify but not delete your email.
This process will differ depending on your email provider's authentication configuration, but in general you:
- May be prompted to enter your email address again
- Will be prompted to enter your email password
- May be prompted to grant a list of specific rights to GRIN
Note
If you have Two-Factor-Authentication (2FA) enabled for your email account, you may need to generate an app-specific password to enter for GRIN's integration. This process will differ based on your email service provider.
If this method doesn't work successfully, please proceed to the How to Manually Connect via IMAP section below, or if using Office 365/Exchange try Specifying Exchange Advanced Settings below.
