IMAP polling reads replies — both regular cold-email replies and the YES activation reply that flips a new domain live. Most providers use the same mailbox for sending and receiving, so the fields below pre-fill from the outbound tab. Tweak the host (e.g. smtp.gmail.com → imap.gmail.com) and save.

Often imap.<provider> where SMTP was smtp.<provider>.
Connection test: auth + open INBOX read-only — no messages touched.
End-to-end test: sends a real probe email from the From address to itself via SMTP, polls IMAP for up to 45 s until it lands, then deletes it. Validates the full reply loop. Uses the SMTP creds saved on the outbound tab.
