Connect your mailbox
Outreach email leaves from your own mailbox, with your legal name and mailing address in the footer.
Steps
- Open Outreach from your dashboard menu.
- Enter your name as it appears on the email, your email address, the outgoing mail server and port, and the incoming mail server for replies.
- Add an app password from your mail provider. Your regular password does not work here.
- Add your legal name, mailing address and country for the footer, and accept the outreach terms.
- We check the connection within 5 minutes and mark your mailbox as verified.
We store your app password encrypted, and no page shows it again. We read only replies to the emails you sent. Nothing else in your inbox is read or stored.
Questions
Where do I make an app password?
