=== Issue 1: Unable to Connect Your Email Account === 1. **Verify Your Password**: - Ensure that the password you are using is correct. If you are uncertain, reset your password through your email provider. 2. **Check for Two-Factor Authentication**: - If you have enabled two-factor authentication, you may need to disable it or generate an application-specific password to complete the connection. 3. **Port Configuration**: - Confirm that you are using the correct ports: - For SMTP (sending mail): Use ports 587 or 465. - For IMAP (receiving mail): Use port 993. 4. **Email Provider Compatibility**: - Some email providers do not support IMAP. Contact your email provider to confirm if this is the case. 5. **Login with Branded Account Name**: - If you are using a CNAME to mask your account name, ensure you log in with the branded account name to complete the email synchronization.
