Notes
You can connect as many email accounts to Curiosity as you like, within your plan limit. Simply connect each one as a new app.
💡 Some email providers require you to enable IMAP for your account before using it.
💡 Some email providers require you to generate an app-specific password for Curiosity (not your normal password).
⚠️ Unfortunately, Yahoo! Mail requires an app-specific password but their feature for generating one is broken and there is no ETA for a fix.
🔐 Your computer communicates directly with your email provider to download your data. We never see, copy or store your data. Learn more about data security and privacy here.
