Alongside your Aiden mailboxes, Aiden Mail can hold your Gmail, iCloud or Yahoo email, or any provider with IMAP. You don’t need an Aiden Account for this. Your messages stay with your provider: the app connects to show them to you and send them.
Where to add it
- If you haven’t signed in yet: on the first screen, tap Other ways to sign in and choose Continue with Google or Another mailbox
- If you are already in: tap your photo at the top of the inbox and go to Settings → Mail accounts → Other providers
Gmail
- Choose Gmail and tap Continue with Gmail
- Google’s official page opens. Sign in and allow access
- You come back to the app with your Gmail already added. Aiden never sees your Google password
iCloud and Yahoo
Apple and Yahoo don’t let other apps sign in with your normal password: you need an app password. For iCloud you create it at appleid.apple.com; for Yahoo, in your Yahoo account security settings.
- Choose iCloud or Yahoo
- Type your address and the app password in Password (or app password)
- Tap Connect email. The app fills in the servers for you
Another provider (IMAP)
- Choose Other (IMAP) and type your address. The app looks up the settings on its own: if you see Settings found, there is nothing else to type
- If you see Check these details, open Advanced options and check the Incoming server (IMAP) and the Outgoing server (SMTP), with their port and SSL or STARTTLS
- Tap Check and connect. The app tests both servers and only saves the account if both answer
If it won’t connect
If the app says the server rejects your username or password, use an app password. If it can’t connect, check the server name and the port and try switching between SSL and STARTTLS. If it still doesn’t work, write to us from Settings → Help and support or at support@aiden.es. For your Aiden mailboxes, see how to sign in to Aiden Mail.
