Frequently Asked Questions

Architecture and operational details for Imap

Imap requires access to your email account, so security is paramount. The project encourages using secure credential storage (like environment variables), app-specific passwords, and limiting folder access to minimize risk. Always review permissions granted to the server in your email provider settings.
