# Email integration via IMAP/SMTP

To smoothly integrate any mailbox with the Responso system, you can use email integration via IMAP/SMTP, which will allow you to retain the entire email correspondence history. In the instructions below, we outline the steps to follow for the proper setup of this integration.

## Adding Integration in Responso 

To configure email in Responso, go [here](https://app.responso.com/settings/integration/imap). 

Fill in your email login details, SMTP settings, and IMAP settings:

You should complete the information on both sides, and then press the *Create* button.&#x20;

For Gmail, before adding the settings, enable IMAP access:

NOTE: If you want to connect with Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo, you will need to use an application password to connect.

**Please follow the instructions below to learn how to create an application password:**

👉 [YAHOO](https://help.yahoo.com/kb/generate-separate-password-sln15241.html?guccounter=1\&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kb2NzLnJlc3BvbmQuaW8vbWVzc2FnaW5nLWNoYW5uZWxzL2VtYWlsL290aGVyLWVtYWls\&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMqRRcvmuh8RmbPhSAayG_xmWAAgHMp1EqlmtLUVROvCeHkQzeSMAHxb5iD0PL74bhWCvrDcaAkSCVAV0XscFJ6i0eR899eWMEsDlgxJ7xo5Puve1zr7jd0_hGHlYHoAxu_ZQunrJCwFCB21CXzElkAZWDeEJvpf65XymF99Rmv2)

After fetching messages via IMAP, they will be marked as read, and sent messages will appear in the sent folder.&#x20;

This functionality is in beta. You can use it, but we are working on improving it.
