Answer email from the Inbox
Connect Gmail, Outlook or any mailbox with IMAP. Emails arrive in the SolMarrow Inbox next to your messages and comments, and replies go out from your own address.
Connect your mailboxes and answer email in the Inbox, next to your messages and comments. Replies go out from your own address and stay in your mailbox's Sent folder. Each sender becomes a person in People.
Connect a mailbox
- Go to Accounts → Email and click Connect email.
- Pick how your mail is hosted:
- Outlook / Microsoft 365: sign in with Microsoft. Works for Outlook.com, Hotmail and work accounts.
- Gmail / Google Workspace: sign in with Google (opens after Google's review). Until then, use Other email with a Gmail app password.
- Other email (IMAP): Hostinger, Zoho, Yahoo, iCloud, your own domain, or Gmail with an app password.
- For Other email, pick your provider (the server details fill in), enter your address and password, then click Test and connect.
SolMarrow checks your Inbox folder about every 2 minutes. Mail from the last 30 days is imported the first time. Newsletters, bounces and auto-replies are skipped.
App passwords
Gmail, Yahoo and iCloud don't accept your normal password from other apps. Turn on two-step sign-in in your account, create an app password in its security settings, and use that instead.
Reply
Open an email in the Inbox, write your reply and press Send (or Ctrl+Enter, ⌘+Enter on Mac). Enter adds a new line. The reply keeps the subject and stays in the same thread for the person you're writing to.
Change or remove a mailbox
In Accounts → Email, click Settings next to the mailbox to change the name on replies, the password or the server details, or to remove it. Removing a mailbox deletes its conversations from SolMarrow; your mail stays in your mailbox.
