Help by common provider

The form itself includes, by expanding “Help by common provider”, a cheat sheet with the details of the most common providers — it’s just help information: you still fill in the same generic IMAP/SMTP fields above with those values, there’s no special “Gmail” or “Outlook” checkbox.

ProviderWhat you need to know
GmailRequires an app password — never your normal Google password. It’s generated in your Google account (Security → App passwords) and requires two-step verification to be turned on for that Google account.
Outlook / Microsoft 365imap-mail.outlook.com (port 993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (port 587); may also require an app password if you have two-step verification on.
IONOSimap.ionos.com (port 993) and smtp.ionos.com (port 587).
OVHssl0.ovh.net for both IMAP and SMTP (ports 993 and 587).
cPanel / traditional hostingUsually mail.your-domain.com for both IMAP and SMTP; check with your hosting provider if unsure.

Warning — Gmail and Outlook, step by step

For Gmail: go into your Google account → Security → turn on two-step verification if you don’t have it → App passwords → generate a new one and paste it exactly as-is into this form’s “Password” field (not the password you use to sign in to Gmail). For Outlook/Microsoft 365 with two-step verification, the path is the equivalent one in your Microsoft account: generate an app-specific password for this use.
