Connection facts
What the IMAP connector actually exposes.
These details come from the current StackOS provider manifest and action catalog. They describe the available connection—not a promise that every workflow will use every action.
- Connection method
- imap-password
- Setup
- IMAP is a protocol, not one vendor. Use the mailbox provider's IMAP settings or app-password page, then enter host, port, TLS mode, username, and password in StackOS.

Direct answer
How does the IMAP integration work?
People continue using IMAP as their tool. StackOS adds it to a visible workflow, keeps the work in order, and passes only the approved action to the integration when that stage is ready.

Common questions
IMAP and StackOS.
What can the IMAP integration do in StackOS?
The current catalog includes 5 IMAP actions across Email Inbox. The exact actions used depend on the workflow and approval rules.
Does StackOS replace IMAP?
No. IMAP remains the tool that performs its part of the job. StackOS organizes the workflow, keeps status and dependencies visible, and calls the tool only when the plan reaches the right approved action.
