Connect a mailbox
Link support@ or sales@ so customer email arrives in MetriCRM and replies go out from your own address.
For: AdminsSteps
- Go to Settings → Mailboxes and select Add mailbox.
- Enter a name and the email address, then choose the module and default team.
- Under Sending (SMTP), enter the server, port 587 with STARTTLS (or 465 with SSL/TLS), username and password.
- Under Receiving (IMAP), enter the server, port 993 with SSL/TLS and the folders to watch (usually INBOX).
- Choose Import existing mail. “Only new mail (from now)” is recommended for the first connection.
- Choose what happens after import: by default mail moves to the “MetriCRM-Imported” folder. MetriCRM never deletes mail.
- Save, then select Test sending and Test receiving. Both should show Connected.
Good to know
- Some providers (Gmail, Microsoft 365) need an app password instead of your normal password.
- New mail is checked automatically every few minutes; use Sync now in the inbox to check immediately.
- Set the mailbox module to MetriSales to turn every new email into a lead, or to MetriCare to turn it into a case.
