Configure an IMAP provider

Note: An IC mail account on the IMAP server is not required to configure an IMAP provider.

In the Mail Configuration dialog box, click the Providers tab. For information on how to access the Mail Configuration dialog box, see Configure a Mail storage source.
In the list of providers, select IMAP.
Click Enable Provider.
In the IMAP Configuration dialog box, click Add to add IMAP servers. You can select an existing server in the worksheet to edit or delete it. For more information, see Configure an IMAP server.
In the Timeout (seconds) field, enter how long the IC server should wait for a response from the IMAP server before abandoning the attempt to receive an email message. The default timeout is 10 seconds.
To authenticate the server and encrypt subsequent communications, select the Use secure connections (SSL/TLS) option.
If you are using SSL/TLS for IMAP, select this option to enable SSL/TLS for CIC.

Prerequisites: For TLS to be fully enabled, additional configuration is required. For more information see CIC Security Features in the Technical Reference Documents section in the PureConnect Documentation Library on the CIC server.
