Custom IMAP

What this integration does

Poll any IMAP mailbox for replies every few minutes — works with ProtonMail Bridge, Zoho Mail, or your own server.

Prerequisites

  • IMAP host, port, username, password
  • SSL/TLS setting for your server

Step-by-step connection

  1. Go to Settings → Reply inbox and open the IMAP form.
  2. Enter host, port, TLS, username and password.
  3. Save — Runline verifies the mailbox is reachable before storing.
The Runline side of the connection (the Settings catalogue and the connect form) is shown in Connect your first tool.
📸 Provider screenshots — to be added. We don’t reuse the provider’s own documentation images (their assets). Capture these on their site when you set up your account, then drop them in here:
  • Your mail provider’s IMAP settings page (host / port / SSL)

What data syncs

Pull (into Runline)
  • New messages since a UID high-water cursor, matched to campaigns by threading and classified
Push (out of Runline)
  • Nothing

Troubleshooting

  • “Could not connect” → check host/port/TLS and credentials.
  • Duplicate-safe: re-scans never double-ingest the same message.

Disconnect

Settings → Reply inbox → Disconnect inbox.
