API tokens
Tokens let a script or app reach your mailbox over the API: send mail, read folders, sync contacts, without your password. Create and revoke them in the webmail under API Access.
Create a token
- Open API Access in the webmail and choose Create Token.
- Pick the scopes the app needs and an expiry, then create it.
- API access needs a paid plan.

- 1Token name: a name that tells you where the token is used.

- 3Expiration: how long the token works before it stops.
- 4Create Token: creates the token.
Scopes
| Scope | What it allows |
|---|---|
imap:read | List folders, read messages, search, view drafts & labels. |
imap:write | Move, flag and delete messages; create drafts; manage labels. |
smtp:send | Send new email and upload attachments. |
Grant only the scopes an app truly needs: a send-only integration doesn't need write access to your inbox.
