Getting Started
Setting up MailFellow takes about two minutes.
1. Create an Account
Go to the registration page and create your account. You can also sign in with Google OAuth.
2. Connect an Email
After signing in, you will be prompted to connect an email account. MailFellow supports three providers:
Gmail
- Click Gmail
- If the app is unverified, you will submit a connection request first
- An admin approves your request from the admin panel
- Once approved, click Gmail again and sign in with your Google account
Outlook
- Click Outlook
- Sign in with your Microsoft account and grant the requested permissions
IMAP
- Click IMAP
- Enter your server address, port, username, and password
- MailFellow will verify the connection before saving
MailFellow needs permission to read your emails (so it can forward them) and send emails (so you can reply from chat). It never deletes or modifies your emails.
3. Connect a Platform
Go to Settings > Channel and connect your chat platform:
For Slack:
- Click Add to Slack
- Authorize MailFellow for your workspace
- Select the channel from the dropdown
For Discord:
- Click Add to Discord
- Select your server and authorize the bot
- A channel is created automatically, or select an existing one
For other platforms (Teams, Telegram, Mattermost, WhatsApp):
- Select the platform from the dropdown
- Enter the required channel or chat ID
- Click Save
4. Activate
Set the status to Active and click Save. Emails will start appearing in your channel within seconds.
Adding More Accounts
You can connect multiple email accounts. Click "+ Add another account" in Settings or use the account switcher dropdown in the top navigation bar. Each account has its own channel, rules, and settings.
