Overview

1️⃣ Configure Source Email

Configure Source Email Address

Once you enter a valid email address, Mail Hermit will activate the help button and provide you with the Server field. The help button will attempt to provide you with provider-specific instructions to guide you through the process.

2️⃣ Discover / Verify Your IMAP Server

Discover / Verify Your IMAP Server

If you know your IMAP server address, you can enter it manually and Mail Hermit will verify it when you hit the Discover button. If you don't know your IMAP server address, you can click the Discover button and Mail Hermit can automatically find most secure IMAP servers.

3️⃣️ Enter your Password or App Password

Enter your Password or App Password

Some providers (like Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) require an "App Password" instead of your regular password. Mail Hermit can provide simple instructions on how to generate one using the help button next to your email address.

4️⃣ Enter your Password or App Password

Enter your Password or App Password

Once you have your "App Password", you can make sure you entered it correctly by clicking the "show/hide" button to reveal it. In the case of App Passwords, spaces (usually) don't matter.

5️⃣ Configure The Destination Account

Configure The Destination Account

Configure the destination account where you want to copy your emails to. Mail Hermit will do everything it can to find a secure connection to both your source and destination accounts, but when it can't be sure, it will ask you to verify.

6️⃣ Update Settings as Needed

Update Settings as Needed

Mail Hermit will attempt to automatically detect the best settings for your mail transfer based on your source and destination accounts. However, if something doesn't work as expected, you can manually adjust the settings as needed and use the "Dry Run" option to test.
