👉 Outlook integration
If your Outlook account is using modern authentication, please follow the steps here to integrate it instead of following the ones below.
Outlook integration is more straight forward and no need to make any other additional settings within the Outlook account.
When you select to integrate outlook with LeadGiant, IMAP and SMTP server and port will be pre-populated, however, it should be:
- Sender email: your email address from which you will contact leads
- Sender name: your name
- IMAP username: add your Outlook address
- IMAP password: add your Outlook password
- IMAP server: outlook.office365.com
- IMAP port (SSL): 993
- SMTP username: add Outlook address
- SMTP password: add Outlook password
- SMTP server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
- SMTP port (TLS): 587
Once you filled out all the settings make sure to click Test Credentials first and then Connect.
👉 Yahoo Integration
Yahoo integration is very similar to Outlook and all necessary data such as server and port are pre-populated by LeadGiant,
- Sender email: add your email address from which you will contact leads
- Sender name: add your name
- IMAP username: add your Yahoo address
- IMAP password: add your Yahoo password
- IMAP server: imap.yahoo.com
- IMAP port (SSL/TLS): 993
- SMTP username: add Yahoo address
- SMTP password: add Yahoo password
