    How can I know the port number and the address like 'imap.gmail.com' and '993', also for 'smtp.google.com' and '587'?
    Is it always the same for google gmail? Can I also use imap.gmail.com / 993 / smtp.google.com / 587?

    What if I want to use other email services?

    Hi!
    You can just use Google to search for "imap settings <email provider>"
    This setting would be the same as you would use to set up outlook or any other email application.

    Besides that, You may need to configure additional settings on your email provider to allow the connection with IBM RPA. That's because IBM RPA can't use 2FA, so you need to set up an app password. As an example, this is the link for Gmail https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en-GB

    Hello,

    Normally email providers inform the standards ports. In the case of Gmail and Outlook (Office365) they utilize the same IMAP (993) and SMTP (587) ports.

    #Gmail

    On these servers, you must enroll an application password to utilize as an account password, follow the documentation.
    #Gmail

    I hope I helped.
