Syncing email account to Conversations with IMAP

BoothBook allows you to sync your email IMAP account so it can import your conversation history with customers.

To add your IMAP account details, click the message icon in the top right to go to your inbox, and click on Conversation Settings

The settings you need to complete are...

• Server Address (Also known as incoming IMAP server)
• Port
• Username (this is normally your email address)
• Password (this is your email account password)

For example, if you manage your email account with Gsuite, your IMAP settings might be...

• Server Address: imap.gmail.com
• Port: 993/imap/ssl
• Username: [email protected]

For example (with 1and1)....

Server Address: imap.1and1.co.uk

• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected]
• Password: photo123
  
  

Or (with GoDaddy)....

• Server Address: imap.secureserver.net
• Port: 993

• Username: [email protected]

• Password: photo123
  
  To find yours, log into your mail account and look for IMAP settings - or google something like "GoDaddy IMAP details". 
  

Once you have added your IMAP, and a connection was successful, you will be able to select the sent folder you wish to sync.
